    The only role costs play is they don't want to pay minimum wage nor do they want to pay taxer.

    The cheap sons of bitches only want to pay slave wages and no taxes......

    The world is more than Trump. It's not like free market supporters decided in 2017 that they like tax cuts. If you've followed politics prior to last year you would know it's been a central theme of the Republican Party since Reagan but for free market folks longer than that. So when you and the article you posted in the OP lie about tax cuts people will respond.

    Of course you are.

    He's supporting the right wing corrupt business tax breaks and dump.

    He has to twist his narrative to fit the lies from the racist right.

    I feel sorry for anybody who ever believed in Trump.
    I don't care about Trump. The lie is about tax cuts causing this plant to close

    Yes, it's racism that causes an action two years before an event occurs. I mean why not right?

    I see The Republican Party sitting back, saying nothing and allowing Trump to Shit on The Law, The Country and any Individual or Group he doesn't like ... but you may see things differently.

    BTW ... If you thought Hillary Clinton is a Crook and a Liar ... then what exactly would you call Donald Trump ... with open eyes of course.

    Read this on the Bangkok Post. They are not taking jobs from the US, ignorant fools know no better. The assembly plant will be on the same industrial estate near Rayong as Triumph, BMW and Ducati.

    I was asking about Hillary in context of the Harley deal. What actions would the company have differently vis a vis the workers if she was President.

    I'm not talking about Trump. F him. I'm speaking about the principles of tax cuts and the lie being told about them in the OP

    How the Fuck would you or I know, Hillary isn't President ... so it's a stupid deflection.

    THE BIG LIE in 2016 was that Companies where going to use their Tax-Cut to retain and produce JOBS in America.

    EVERYONE then ... with Intelligence said that was BULL SHIT ... Now today the Stupid is trying to make excuses or deflect.

    Holy fuck you are just beyond belief. To compete with the likes of Triumph, Ducati, BMW and Kawasaki, they have to build locally to avoid swingeing import taxes of around 40%.

    You said Harley workers were stupid for voting for Trump. Their other option was Hillary, hence the question of what would have turned out differently. That's not a deflection it's directly related to your comment.

    HD made the decision about their KC factory in 2015. So how did a tax cut in 2017 affect their decision making in 2015? You're essentially arguing they made that decision with the knowledge of a tax cut two years later

The point of the tax cut was that companies would change their minds and stay. Remember when Trumpy was at Carrier and that made a promise they would stay because of his rules? They moved. But they got a pocket full of money and tax breaks.
