Trying to make political hay with old news

Harley-Davidson took its tax cut, closed a factory, and rewarded shareholders

On September 2017, House Speaker Paul Ryan traveled to a Harley-Davidson plant in Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin, to tout the Republican tax bill, which President Trump would sign later that year. “Tax reform can put American manufacturers and American companies like Harley-Davidson on a much better footing to compete in the global economy and keep jobs here in America,” Ryan told workers and company leaders. Four months later and 500 miles away in Kansas City, Missouri, 800 workers at a Harley-Davidson factory were told they would lose their jobs when the plant closed its doors and shifted operations to a facility in York, Pennsylvania — a net loss of 350 jobs. Workers and union representatives say they didn’t see it coming.

it's all part of Trump's economic recovery plan to MAGA by shifting and preserving jobs overseas like he did with ZTE

Better bikes, too. Comparing a Harley to a BMW, for example, is like comparing a 1938 Oldsmobile to a 2018 BMW.

You got that right. Harley sells bikes based on image, not performance or quality.

When you give away a trillion dollars in tax revenue you got to make it up somehow.

An extra $2,200 on a Harley is pretty reasonable when you think about it.

When did the European Union give a Trillion dollars away?

 

[Hoid]

YOu misunderstood


Trump gave away a trillion

Trump taxed the Harley's

No. He taxed foreign products foolishly expecting that other countries wouldn't retaliate. So other countries are taxing the Harleys.

No he didn't the European Union set the tariffs on HD imports in retaliation to the steel aluminum Tariff

Isn't that what I just said?

So it really isn't because of Trump and his need to raise money to replace the money he gave away.

Except it is.

Trump has to have money - thereofore he will get it by taxation.

Of course, but he's taxing imports. Harleys aren't imports for the most part. Though he may inadvertently be taxing parts I suppose.

Trump threatens Harley with massive taxes if they leave the country to make things he wants to tax.
