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!
I figured you'd sense the sarcasm... I guess I was wrong.

No I'm pissed at Ford taking profits from your Mustang and building billion dollar Ford Focus manufacturing and distribution operation in Russia! Ford is expanding to two manufacturing locations in Russia with production capability of 300,000 cars per year! And it will be exporting cars and motors from Russia to other regions of the world. How could you support a company who funds the Commies? I like that strategy take money from stupid Americans who think they are supporting US economy and send the money to Russia to put US workers out of work. Hows that sound commrade? Lol!

Well you can rest assured that I'm the last person you need to lecture on the global economy considering my living is devoted to exploiting it for profit.

No worries you're just easy target Mustang man! And you and I probably share much in common. I make my living setting up global operations for multinational companies. However I do crazy things like putting my current global call center in a New York college town rather than India.

Let's face it. Nobody is a true american anymore. Even if the label says "made in America" chances are that the parts and raw matterial weren't. The labor wasn't American either. Oh, but my veggies and steaks were grown in the US not always and the food that was grown here was raised on fertilizers, hormones, and insecticides made somewhere else.

It doesn't matter. We are all in this together and all you can worry about is making a better life for you and your own.

A democrat said this? This sounds like something a republican would say.
