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.

OK, the first part I agree, but when you injected Chevy into it you lost me.
So you think you Chevy made in America? NOT, Chevy about the last car I would buy, they got bailed out by the Obama administration for union votes, not to mention billions of free money. O yes they paid the first loan back with the second loan. then, say the paid their government loan off. Chrysler got the shaft, Ford never took any of the free money. O wait it wasn't so free for ford was it. Chevy's are exclusively made in china, Mexico, and Canada. Not to mention where all the sub components come from. Probably one of the Biggest sold out companies in America. Yes I use to buy Chevy's. POS wouldn't last 5 years without major work. Course most people don't keep car pass three years so they don't experience it. This OLD BS about American made it BS VERY few companies still totally made in America. The CEOs have sold the American worker out for BIG multi-million bonus. And the Federal government Helped them do it by there stupid one sided trade agreement's.
