So you're going to make ignorant comments about the "J#ps" opening plants here and paying no taxes. Do some research. Would that be similar to GM and Ford and several other manufacturers opening plants in Mexico, India and China? Do you have any clue how many jobs that Toyota, Honda, and BMW create? "Oh, but the profits go to Japan!" Somehow thats much worse than the jobs being provided to American workers who will in return spend that money in the community, Chew on this: In 2005, Toyota employed 48,000 employees plus 1600 retirees and manufactured roughly 1/3 of the cars of GM. GM employed 142,000 active employees and 460,000 retirees!!! GM made -$2300, yes, thats a negetave $2300 per vehicle while Toyota made nearly $1500 per vehicle. Darn those effecient, profit making, American job providing Japenese!
My next remarks will refer to your points #2 and #3:
2. The Japanese government helps their industry by not allowing US made cars to be sold in their countries!!!!! that is called unfair trade....plain and simple.
3. If the crooks in DC wanted to level the field for US car/truck makers they would say "no imported cars, only cars made here are allowed"
Sooo, It's wrong for Japan to dis-allow American made cars to be sold in Japan (which is so far from the truth it's laughable, in 1996 GM sold 50,000 cars in Japan), but it would be OK for the "crooks in DC" to do the same, that is, not allow imported cars.
I'm not anti-american or pro-Japenese. I just feel that the Unions, lack of efficient production techniques and the big three's reluctance to manufacture quality cars for many years have led us down this road. My sources are as follows: http://www.npr.org/news/specials/gmvstoyota
