1. Toyota builds many of its vehicles right here in the U.S. They are probably more "American" than GM right now.
2. Toyota is a publicly traded company. The profits go wherever the shareholders are -- including right here in the U.S. In one of the great ironies of this modern global economy, a UAW worker employed by General Motors is far better off with Toyota stock than GM stock in his pension fund.
No. Simply being a public traded company does not defacto keep the profits where they shareholders are..
Stock value is not from profits…. Only money a stockholder directly gets from a company are dividend payments if they pay any and even that is whatever the board decides, and is not 100% of profits.
Most power even in publicly traded company is not help by common stock holders.
