Are they flowing back to you or anybody you know?

[A. Pole]

That can be easily solved by a trip to your local Toyota dealer, where you can look at the federally-mandated domestic content sticker on each auto.

Do you support such federal mandates?

[lucysmom]

Where are the profits except in the pockets of a few shareholders.

But those shareholders hire people to clean their pools, mow their lawns, make their beds and watch their children, so it all works out.

yeah, and Paulsen and Bernanke are in China now only because they wanted some good general tso's chicken. rather, they are begging them to deal with their currency peg, because in addition to losing massive manufacturing and technology industry investments being made there, instead of here, we are losing control of the dollar too.

But hey, have a party - everything is just fine.

[oceanview]

sure, if you want an $8/hr service job cleaning pools and mowing lawns for the elites.

[oceanview]

he knows people at Goldman Sachs I am sure - they just announced their AVERAGE employee bonus today - $622,000.

[A. Pole]

George W. Bush won without the Reagan Democrats. Twice.

Are you sure?

[1rudeboy]

Do you support such federal mandates?

No. Thank your friends at the UAW.

[Paul Ross]

Burden of proof is on you.

No, it's a burden squarely and fairly on you.

I already pointed out the M3 numbers travesty. That pretty much says it all.

As for your Toyota Camry numbers, as solitary examples, don't establish any legitimate counter-point. You need to see the forest for the trees.

China is planning on flooding the U.S. with cars soon. It is already flooding the parts market.

I love the smell of class warfare in the morning.

[1rudeboy]

No, it's a burden squarely and fairly on you.

I refer you to your comment #30, well upstream from mine. Nice try.

[lucysmom]

Watch out! Someone will accuse you of class envy and of promoting class warfare. (We're not supposed to notice those things)

[Irisshlass]

But those shareholders hire people to clean their pools, mow their lawns, make their beds and watch their children, so it all works out.


Yeah illegal aliens that make $7.00 an hour or less, no benefits and the money goes back to Mexico to take of their families. You're right it all works out.

If Honda, Toyota, Mazda, and Nissan can all establish manufacturing plants in the US and produce a quality product while making a profit, perhaps its time to stop blaming government and labor

These plants are usually in low tax, nonunion states, so I'd say blaming government and (union)labor is exactly the right thing to do.

[1rudeboy]

YOU are the one that brought it up where is your analytical study to back up with you said?

No. Again, your comment, "Just like the Republicans just won the House and Senate again without the Reagan Democrats," upstream from mine.

[1rudeboy]

I'm accusing you of engaging in class warfare as well. There, glad that's out of the way.

[lucysmom]

Toyota has three unionized plants in California. The rest pay comperable wages and benefits.

[Paul Ross]

I see you've still been unable to explain away the fact that we make more today than at any other time in our history

You can't prove we do. More ships? No. More planes? No. More computers? No. More trains? No. More steel? No. More what is being built precisely?

other than your usual obfuscation and data dump two stepping.

You're practicing projection again, I see.

Your portfolio of explanations rivals that of Clinton himself.

Xlinton is your Globalist Free Trade exponent deluxe. He's on your side.

So since you are aligning with him...I don't think you've any credibility in your casual attempt to rhetorically smear the conservative position as "Clintonian".

Talk about "obfuscation"...I was dead on about you.

[Paul Ross]

Toyota has three unionized plants in California. The rest pay comperable wages and benefits.

Interesting.

But they likely don't have a Pension fund cliff hanging over them. The advantage of a comparatively recent start-up.

Demographics is history.

[Toddsterpatriot]

Everyone in America needs to quit their jobs and become shareholders?

I don't think you should be a shareholder. If you did, you might be able to retire one day with enough money to support yourself.
