After tax cut, Harley-Davidson has closed a factory and fired hundreds after awarding shareholders

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

Republican voters really need to learn basic economics. Corporations don’t reward their lower level workers - they have a feduciary obligation to maximize benefit to shareholders.

Republicans in office don’t give two shits about workers and no one can make an argument otherwise besides just blindly believing that they do when they say it.

The announcement came as Harley-Davidson reported its fourth quarter and year-end financial results. The motorcycle manufacturer said its worldwide retail motorcycle sales were down 6.7 percent in 2017 when compared to the previous year.

The drop was more pronounced in this country, with U.S. sales down 8.5 percent, compared with a 3.9 percent drop overseas.

Percentage drops in the fourth quarter were even worse, with overall sales down 9.6 percent U.S. retail motorcycle sales down 11.1 percent.

I guess they should add jobs when their sales are down? Moron!

Guess the Trump economy didn't take off for the cycle industry.

[Billy000]

Why did only the shareholders benefit?

Good grief you are dumb, shareholders own the company HELLO.

Yeah no shit and low level workers didn’t benefit and loss their jobs. That’s the point you dumb sack of shit

Watch me destroy Billy000...the 1st and 3rd biggest shareholder of Harley Davidson is...wait for it...a 529 college savings fund why do you hate parents who are saving for their kids college?

Oh good! Meanwhile hundreds lost their jobs in exchange. Only a moron like you would prefer that.

Here are some more Harley shareholders,

California State Teachers Retirement System
NY State Teachers Retirement System
Kentucky Teachers Retirement System

You have a really hard time with comprehension huh? This is about them eliminating hundreds of jobs? Trust me, you’re destroying yourself right now lol

In case the socialist left has been in a coma it should be noted that "shareholders are us" unlike Barry Hussein rewarding a dying solar company with freaking taxpayer dollars before it went under. The left barely took note at the time because taxpayer money was used and that's the way they do it in socialist administrations.

 

[Billy000]

Lol you idiot. Why didn’t they just use the money they saved on their profit shortage? They could have invested it. Why did only the shareholders benefit? Either way, they can afford to have a drop in demand.

You call someone else an idiot and yet it's obvious you couldn't turn a profit on a lemonade stand.

You would know huh? It’s your side job on top of your main job of mowing lawns for a living.

LOL, I love it when lefties talk about subjects, they know nothing about it's hilarious. They think showing every job loss will matter, to people who know how business works.......their jedi propaganda doesn't work on the strong minded, only the weak ones like their base.

I love it when lefties talk about subjects, they know nothing about

If they didn't do that, they'd have almost nothing to talk about...…..

People can't afford Harleys anymore. Just as good due to head injuries and disability, if they are lucky they just die.

Yet they all want to go without a helmet. A real biker wears a helmet with a facemask, long pants , a leather jacket and boots.

Yes we see them with shorts, flip flops or sandals, and little scarfs.

So less bikers, as they are either disabled or dead.

See, I know Penelope isn't a huge trump fan, but she atleast knows there are tons of factors and I agree with her that you should wear helmets, jackets, boots and long pants.....anything else is asking for injury......or death...no thanks.

All of that nonsense has NOTHING to do with Harley jobs or manufacturing. Juat a bunch of nonsensical bullshit from a moronic female who obviously doesn't know jack shit.
People who ride Harleys do not wear sandals, shorts or scarve.

Dumbass post

I live in a beach resort. I see dumb azz's wearing sandals, no helmets, shorts and shirtless on Harley's all the time. Everyday during the summer. Flying down the busy highways and streets at high speeds.

I don't believe you and that has NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS THREAD.

It is their money and their company to run as they see fit. You are neither entitled to judge or make demands of any sort

Right I should just be okay with policy that doesn’t do jack shit for the poor or middle class.

Pull your head out of your own ass and look at the economy. Look at the revenue brought in.

Better yet just STFU

Was your brain damage caused by a motorcycle accident?
Or was it something else?

Harley has been in the shitter for some time, they closed the factory because of lack of demand for bikes. The Op is an idiot. Have you looked at the unemployment rate lately?

Idiots GOP voters, they actually thought the corps and businesses cared about them. How foolish they are. You are nothing but a peon to them. Wonder how those hundreds who got laid off feel, they can now wash dishes, because after their cobra runs out they need to work 80 hours a month to get Medicaid. LOL ,they probably voted GOP and serves them right.

Like a true Capitalist

Where is the trickle down?

Well, well. Billy Baloney, Penelope Pitstop, and Dumbdinger, all have one thing in common. And what is that? They are PROPAGANDISTS! If someone doesn't spend THEIR money they way they want them to, they are evil, racist, awful, or crooks.

Who made Billy Baloney and his friends sooooo smart? Why, President OBYSMAL, that is who! He who parts the seas, walks on water, AKA.....the messiah. They walk in his wake, and will tell you when you are not being a social justice warrior.

They are a in all actuality, a bunch of wet behind the ears incompetent, irrelevant, and immaterial college buffoons who think they are smarter than anyone else...…..OR...…..they are older COMMIES trying to find the next generation to subvert. If it is the latter, they are Bernie on social media.

Sooooooooo, do they address the big picture? Of course they don't, for that would not give them a talking point! They can't talk about confidence, or growth, they have to cherry pick. That is the Leftist way though. 97 out of 100 doing well, forget that, you have to collapse the other 97 to make it all fair. Misery loves company, so lets make the American people MISERABLE, so that the pointy headed Leftists can experiment more with equality of outcome.

How long will America put up with this crap?

I suspect not long, especially when lights are coming on all over America, the generic midterm ballot is now flipping, and by November, we will be sending the 3 royals------> Baloney, Pitstop, and Dinger, back to where they belong...……...which is probably one of their basements, where the hammer and sikle are displayed prominently-)
