Let me see if I can make this easy for you...

You make cars. They’re in high demand overseas. You’re selling well in a market that is growing overseas.

You can go ahead and make the cars here, and bear a $7000 union “tax” for each car, and another $3000 EPA “tax” for each car you make here. And then have a 20% tariff on the import of your car overseas. And pay 35% profits on any money you make on that car.

Or you can move overseas, eliminate the union tax, the EPA tax, the tariff, and cut your corporate income tax down to 17% or lower.

So which would you do? You want to keep your taxes nice and high, and your profits at the whim of the unions and the Federal Government? Is that the way forward?

Do you buy anything made overseas? How about your cell phone, laptop or TV? What car brand do you drive?

I’ll make it even easier for you. Is America stronger today, compared to other countries, or is it weaker?

Pretty simple isn’t it.

That is such BS. Labor accounts for only 10% of the MSRP on autos. Even less for non union built cars. Do some research and quit spreading lies.
