Meanwhile, in Trump World we are seeing an age-old company picking up a significant stake of its company and moving production overseas. Harley Davidson will be shuttering a plant in Kansas City, MO in order to shift production overseas to Thailand in an effort to offset the quickly growing tariffs stemming from the current trade war. Trump vows to tax their pants off in response. Meanwhile, 800 good paying jobs will be decimated.
I suppose we should all look back at the tax bill ushered in by this administration as a key indicator of all the winning that was supposed to result from the huge giveaway to large corporations such as Harley Davidson. Harley Davidson is also pointing its finger at slumping domestic sales as another reason for the move.
Perhaps the middle class has been so swindled over the past 40 years that they simply do not have the discretionary savings to afford such luxuries anymore. Well, we could have given the largest part of the tax break to individual households, but companies like Carrier and Harley Davidson were expected to do what was right with there windfall. Still waiting on all that winning!
Thanks, Obama!
