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.

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.
