[QUOTE="Seadog, post: 3133585, member: 9018"] The tariffs did more than just protect Harley they protected automobile manufacturers. When you talk about the 80s there were no foriegn automobile manufacturers in the US that under cut and put American automobile company’s out of business. All of that foreign junk was imported and heavily tariffed so that it didn’t undercut American jobs by cheep Asian slave labor. I remember the large car shipping ships. Was a big deal back in the day. Why would anybody want to let in cheep care to put Americans out of jobs? At least that’s how it was viewed by some back in the day Then to get around tariffs, I’m not sure who but these foreign entities started building their corporations in the US to get around the tariffs kind of like how some of these US manufacturers are going about now. Many of these same country’s but not all do not allow American corporations to own and run businesses in their territory’s. So it has never been a level playing field [/QUOTE]
