Did you read the article?

Couple of highlights:

1. Consolidating operations to York, PA
2. 400 new jobs in PA
3. -800 Jobs in KC
4. Expanding overseas Operations
- steepest growth market is in Asia
5. High tariffs in shipping bikes to Asia
6. Harley says plant in Thailand has no bearing on KC
7. A lot of unsubstantiated supposition by a local worker vs.Corporate statement of reality.

Nothing to do with trickle down economics.

Thread = Fail

Agree has nothing to do with Dick Trickle Down VooDoo Economics but it is still a net LOSS of 400 American jobs no matter how you spin it. Just saw CSX let go 100 employees in Cumberland, MD as well. Things are not as great as it is spun in Trumpland.

It has everything to do with the fallacy of trickle down economics.

Days later, Harley-Davidson announced a dividend increase and a stock buyback plan to reward shareholders, repurchasing 15 million of its shares, valued at nearly $700 million.

It's amazing to me how a word or phrase gets coined into the popular lexicon, then treated as Gospel on the Left. In any study of micro or macro economics, the word "trickle down" simply doesn't exist...either as a theory or philosophy! It's a wholly made up term by some Leftist politicos but it has zero to do with how a free market economy actually functions and it can't even be accurately explained by the folks who regularly use it ostensibly to describe unfair wage or other economic inequality under Capitalism.

In fact if you want to get precise & technical, every time a dollar is spent or earned it "trickles down" to whoever is the seller or purchaser/wage earner. Leftists use that word to describe how they'd rather see or control the way dollars move through a private enterprise economy but their track record on massive Government controlled income redistribution is a dismal failure. So they use the word "trickle down" to smear Capitalism and free markets but they never acknowledge Socialism's unmitigated "trickle down" disaster by comparison.

Ok. So they were supposed to screw over investors by keeping an unnecessary plant open?

Just like Mylan laying off a bunch of workers if it don’t affect you then it’s all good those people who lost jobs can just suck on it?

This is what it looks like to be fooled by a con man.

ATL doesn't care though........they are all white.......
Careful now, your white trash racism is littering up the forum once again. Admittedly, you're giving cunty89 a run for his money in racist of the year category. But, as of today, you have some catching up to do, in order to pass Talcum X.

Racist........for caring about white workers unemployed........why must you all be so racist?

And, Dave, be careful.......[winking]
You were the one who made the story about the workers racial and you did it by suggesting a black person would not care because they were all white.

The racism you spew on here is disgusting

Amazing how folks on the Left always want to talk about race but they hardly mention that Black folks are working in record numbers now. Somehow that aspect of race manages to slip right past the Left. No props at all for us.

Guess what? Black folks notice the jobs available to them and who's in the White House now too. Newsflash. He ain't Black!

How bout that for racial profiling?

Why? Because racism is ignorance and you should be better than that but you are not.

I posted a picture of me, my son and my late Dad for him after he said "I couldn't be Black" and know what he said after that?

He said anyone can post a pic from anywhere...he still didn't believe I was Black...even even after I posted pics of myself!

And he's calling you a racist?

Doesn't matter. I AM Black...always have been. The fact you even questioned it after I said I was tells me all about who the real racist is. And you DID still question it after I posted the pic of myself. Liar.

Yes, it DOES matter.......saying "couldn't be" is much different than "was not".......

So you say.......it's the Internet.....anyone can post anything and say anything.........you never believe anything I say......when I said I was married, a Christian, a retiree, etc. etc., yet I should believe you? HA!
