To save jobs??? Who knows... I was pretty resposable, paid all my taxes and chose to rent rather than buying a house an overpriced in artificially inflated market, where's my bailout?? :shrug:I'm dating a Harley rider, so don't intend to bash Harley. I just have one question, and I'd have this same question if it was Honda or Yamaha or anybody else.
Harley's 4th qtr. profits fell to $77 Million (take that times 4 to get their yearly profit). Why in the world do they need to be included in a bail out?
Because these big multi-million dollar companies keep the World turning in the same direction. And when a company makes a profit, they have to pay taxes on that profit :wrong:. So with a new prez in the oval office, do you think the profit tax is going to be the same?why it's being done for these huge multi-million dollar companies.
+1 :agree: I am in the same boat as you are, I own my business and our sales are the lowest I have seen for over 40 years :wrong: :coffee1:I don't expect government to do anything FOR me, but I wish they'd stop doing things TO me... I own my own co. Business is down Profits are down
but think I will get any help no!!! the little guy just have to make it on there own .wish me luck and say a prayer .that is all we can do !!!!!Blade
They're hopping on the bailout bandwagon just like nearly everyone else looking for a taxpayer handout.Why in the world do they need to be included in a bail out?
With all the posers buying the clown suits they can't be hurting too bad. They make more money on apparel and accessories than on the bikes.
$77M for a quarter equates to over $280M for the year in PROFIT, after their hefty salaries, bonuses, cars, jets, & other perks. Large or small, that's a lot of money. Maybe some of these big corporations need to stop being quite so greedy. It's the small companies that I think the government needs to be helping.Pearl.. For a large corp 77 Million is nothing to be happy about. Thats actually peanuts. Pretty sad, and its only the beginning. This is world wide, and far from over.
