Cars Without Borders: Does “Made in America” Really Matter Anymore?

that's funny! I agree.

And they are made out of hazardous chemicals.

Your comment speaks volumes. Great point.

The real question of ownership and profits can only be answered by finding out who the stockholders are. But, all in all, there's far more money put into the economy by the location of the plants (thus, the manufacturing jobs and other support) than by the location of the headquarters or the distribution of that small fraction of sales that becomes profit for shareholders.

Perhaps an even better title for this would be "Here's a purported news story which is going to tell you absolutely nothing, so don't bother to read it."

Before you can take back the workforce, you must first get rid of the "greed" factor and start living within your means. Before the twentieth century, America was a good place, during the twentieth century we saw America fall to the lowest depths in our nations history because someone in their finite wisdom decided we didn't need the "gold standard" or any other standard to live by (not even God's standard). Now greed is the way of life for most, and God is a forgotten being never to be remembered except through special occasions and whenever a natural or man-made disaster occurs. America has become a lost cause, not because of foreign intervention, but by her own hand the "greedy" have put in.

If you read the article or even looked at the sticker on your vehicles door panel, you will see that most of the foreign vehicles were made in the America, by Americans, presumably making a few foreigners wealthy and many Americans employed. The difference being, thy so many American vehicles are made in Mexico and Canada, leaving Americans with no jobs, yet a few corporate Americans wealthy.
I completely agree, buy American, when made by Americans!
To heck, with the corporations, I will always try to support my fellow American worker! These corporations try to get us to buy their products at the expense of American jobs. If your cousin, brother, father, uncle, builds toyotas in north Carolina, and Toyota pays him every two weeks, it seems only right to buy Toyota.
It's just my opinion, but if we don't support the American worker by buying whoever's products employ the American worker, eventually there won't be an American worker.
We are one of the biggest consumer markets in the world, I believe other countries realized long before American corporations, that, without a job, Americans can't buy anything. Probably out of self preservation, but none the less, some of these foreign countries decided it was important to keep America working.
Support America, support Americans!

One thing is very clear - American workers are good workers with good ROI. The best cars in the world are designed & built in America although they might be Hondas. Evidently our labor costs are OK also or Honda would build cars in Mexico or China.

In our global economy America needs core competencies and continuous improvement of competencies to win our fair share of the market. That means educating Americans, more of the same, and piled high and deep.

It's cheaper for the companies to have it made in China.

Yeah, cheaper. Nevermind the illnesses caused by Chinese drywall or the toxic chemicals used in the paint they use to paint kid toys and so on and so on. When I was a kid it wasn't so unusual to see things that DIDN'T say "MADE IN CHINA" on it, and I only grew up in the 80's!!! Not the 50's or anything. It's all about money, regardless of the health effects these cheap "goods" that can affect us and our kids by receiving most of our goods from a country with no labor laws or laws concerning the type of material used to produce the goods. But hey, the big wonderful corporations are only looking out for the American consumer right??
and I @#$% thousand dollar bills out of my @#$% on a regular basis.

I ride a Harley and I have bought several american made jackets, that fell apart in a matter of a year, yes we should buy american, but can we at least take pride in what we make, we have gone lazy, I see it all the time at work, no one wants to put in their best effort in our job and it is very very sad. I also have a harley davidson jacket made in china that is 25 years old, and still looks brand new
