Are you sure about that? Nissan North America is a US corporation. US Corporations must pay taxes on all profits recognized in the US. And its clear profits from Nissan sales in the US are being invested in US operations, they built that new headquarters, invested "profits" in expanded US manufacturing. They are also building a new battery plant in the US! The profits don't all go back to Japan just as profits from Ford and GM don't all come back to the US. If anything Ford and GM are investing less in the US and investing more in Former Soviet Union and China!
And let me ask did Nissan borrow yoUr tax money like GM to bail themselves out and then spend that same money on expanded operations in China and Korea?
Your argument fails!
