<VV> japanese cars

[jvhroberts at aol.com]

Japanese transplants use more and more domestically sourced parts every 
year.

For all the grousing about them, nothing is, or should, change. 
Protectionism is one of the things that drove us into the Great 
Depression. Complaining about someone who has succeeded because they 
succeeded isn't going to change the behaviour of those who are 
struggling. The issues with Detroit are PURELY Detroit's fault. And 
only theirs to fix.

And yeah, should go to VV Talk...

We should move this subject to vv talk ...

Their US operations are assembly only ... they get a better
[by their  audits] product here and for less money because
it eliminates all import taxes.

Just a couple of years ago 100% of their parts were shipped
in ... I have no reason to believe that has changed.

How many remember that while our government is
hammering  our industries with taxes the Japanese
government is subsidizing their corporations?  Is that fair?
