Are there any motor companies who employ American workers but who didn’t get any scratch from the American taxpayer?

Both Honda and Toyota build certain models in this country in NON-UAW factories. The Honda Odyssey and Accord are built in the U.S. (Not sure about the Civic.)

The Toyota Corolla and Camry are built in the U.S. also in NON-UAW factories. Can't speak to Toyota's other models.

No, every plant that gets built receives huge subsidies from taxpayers. That's how business is done these days. Ex: the Hyundai plant in Alabama received $235 million in state funding. The Honda plant in Indiana received $141 million. These companies are smart enough to have states bid for the jobs, and the economy is so bad that states are desperate to attract them.
