That's right and those arguing that products like Toyota are "made" in the USA are sorely mistaken. They might be "assembled" here, but the big bucks profits and the design philosophy goes right back to Japan.
Doesn't anyone find it interesting that while (maybe only Ford) can be competitive, Toy/ Honda/ etc can use US workers, skim the profits back to the Island, and still show good profits?
I do. And I think it has to do with exactly what so many on these boards seem to think we need more of........laws, regulations, etc. to hamstring our American companies to make them even less competitive. I don't know wht so many want to blame, tear down, regulate, penalize, destroy corporate America. A corporation is a group of people, hired by a board of directors, elected by the stockholders to use our (the stockholders) money to make a profit for us, our 401K funds, retirement plans, money to pay our bills and live better on. Any corporate penalties, taxes, regulatory costs are passed directly to you & me. A corporation pays NO taxes, they simply collect them for the government and pass them on to you & I (hidden for govt's benefit) in the cost of products & services. Taxing a corporation plays well into the 'big bad big guy' vs 'little guy' class envy senario & aids the government in taxing us more in a way that they hope we will not recognize. More corporate tax results in higher prices to consumer, fewer dollars to share holders, more layed off workers, more jobs overseas (to escape such burdens), an on & on.
Corporations are like the IRS in a way...a giant tax collector(s), but they do not really pay taxes, we do. There should be no such thing as is called a corporate tax. As is we get to pay twice, first we pay what is taken from the corporation as a tax and then we pay again on any profits derived from our investment in the corporation. Stop that & tax the people directly, without the pass-thru, so we can see more clearly how big out tax burden really is. Next, stop preferential treatment for foreign companies. Look at import/export tariffs, etc. There is more, but I'm out of time.
People need to stop playing into the deceptive game foisted upon us to push the envy, hate, blame game and open eyes and learn vs listening to the propaganda.
