#1— you are too eager to bow and scrape to your new foreign masters who make automobiles you crave
#2 — definitely automobile union workers have to be cut down on compensation in my scheme.... But you also have to put some blame on management too. For the disaster in GM and Chrysler though Ford is OK. Right?

Remind me where CNN is rooted, and where FNC lives.

If plants are in America, it is Americans doing the work and earning the wages. Americans are also spending their hard earned wages in the US. Many, if not most of the components come from US companies. The steel comes from US steel mills. Further, the plant owners are paying lots of taxes.

Check out who supplies Nissan, Honda, Toyota in their USA plants. More often the suppliers are Japanese owned companies who have set up branch operations. Since you claim to be into "tough love" you should try and track it down and be shocked. I have looked at it myself but you think Toyota will ever publish a compressive breakdown of who supplies them and in what volume and what dollar volume ???

Why don’t you come up with a plan? But then you are same as other freepers who could care less where the profits go in an automobile plant on US soil. Profits going to Americans, Germans, Japanese is irrelevant to you and them.

And here I thought capitalism started with the desire of a capitalist to start a business and make profits. That the workers are then hired to help him do this. Can you tell me of any businesses started by workers who hire an owner? lol

1. No...I am eager to buy a car that year after year is significantly better in quality and durability. I don’t care who makes it. Don’t care about the union. BTW...I do own a 2000 chevy truck c3500. Because it is a well built, dependable truck.

2.If you’ll notice in the above post of mine...I don’t single out the unions as the problem. I think the big 3 are defective from top to bottom and have no chance of ever competing with Foreign makers here on home soil. That’s sad and indicates that they need to die the next time they fail, instead of being rescued. Once the big 3 die off, the next generation of American car company can come to life free of the chains that drug the old ones down to the inefficient, non-competitive, slugs they were.

Incidental circumstances put CNN in Atlanta....Turner had lived there for years...I also think Murdoch had properties galore in NYC already.

It's also about the free market providing choices to buyers of products and employess as to where they want to work.

I don't want to be told I can or cannot buy an American or German made car.

We care very much.
But; we don't want government entities trying to dictate this.
We want American innovation to bring them here. To do that, American companies need the shackles of government and corrupt unions removed from their backs.

Exactly, be the maker of the cars people want to buy and they’ll buy them.
I drive a 1 ton Chevy pickup for towing and hauling because it is the best for doing what I want it to do. I drive a Toyota Corolla for my 105 mile commute to work 15 days a month, because it is also the best for the task. I also drive a Porsche 911 for fun, and guess what? It’s by far the best for doing that! When a better car is built and sold in the U.S, I’ll buy it!

Your view is simplistic and wrong.

The shareholders get the profits or benefits from the growth. If you buy shares in Porsche AG, you that is an American FReeper, reap the profits.

Multinational ownership means multinational profit distribution.
