You’re excused and most of what you said is true, but corporate retained earnings are repatriated to the country where the automaker is based. In the case of Honda, that’s Japan.

Excuse me – Hondas made in USA – Indiana – Ohio etc. are fully manufactured in USA! The profits do not all go “overseas” – they go to stockholders! They (stockholders) can live anywhere on the globe!

I whole heartedly agree that saving the US jobs in foreign auto factories is a 2nd place win at best. But one gripe I have about people attacking foreign cars. Usually the people who do so are people who believe in Lessiz-faire Capitalism. What we’re seeing here is people moving in droves to buy foreign cars. Not a single one of them has a gun to their head. No one is forcing them. They’re buying the cars because auto makers like Toyota have been putting out a significantly better product than US auto makers. This is Lessiz-faire Capitalism at work. Nothing more, nothing less.
