There is a name for that IT IS A TARIFF. Free trade is not as free as we are TOLD. For example, American rice is far less expensive than rice produced in Japan yet Japan will not allow it it to protect their own industry. We on the other hand give TAX INCENTIVES to Japanese auto manufacturers SO THEY CAN BETTER DESTROY out auto industry. You buy a Japanese car and proudly declare it is made in the United States. That is a spin of the facts.
In business you of course need to make a profit. What the Japanese car companies do is to make the profit in Japan. Thus, they pay tax to Japan AT THEIR LOWER TAX RATE.

Aside: I have a Chevy. What is more US than a Chevy?
Unlike Chrysler Obama did not GIVE IT to FIAT. The transmission is made in MEXICO. If, I recall the car is 60% American sourced and so they can CLAIM it is American made. I'm not sure if that 60% does not include stuff from Canada. My previous AMERICAN CHEVY had a tag on it that stated assembled in Canada.
