The reason they built the plants here, it was cheaper period... Had nothing to do with them liking us. We gave them tax discount and free ground. I sure they won't do the same over there for us. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

Who said it's about liking us? It's about what's most profitable for them, especially considering the 1970s brought them tariffs due to Detroit lobbying Congress because the Big Three were getting their pants beat off of them. What did the clever foreign companies do? Build plants in America to avoid the tariffs.

In other words, I think it's you who doesn't get it. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

Andy, the reason 1000 plus unemployed is because "we the people" have bought too much foreign crap. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/flag.gif

No, it's because they were building a product that no one wanted to buy.

Again, show me the tag on your shirt and shoes, also the brand on your computer and TV. Where was your coffee maker made?

Why is it always about "those damn Jap cars"??

Re: Toyota/Lexas Recall
 

I agree with you, we bought everything foreign, and we are now paying for it. RIP https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/flag.gif

Believe it or not, there are several points that you have made here and other threads that I agree with as well. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/flag.gif

I want French wine, Swedish porn, Japanese tuna, and Italian crystal.

It's economically stupid on so many levels to buy only from one country. And it's even stupider to tell someone what their needs are. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...thumbsdown.gif

If you American folks buy a new Camaro, you'll also be driving an import. Of course for us Canadians, it will be a domestic https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif
