At least Toyota makes a lot of vehicles in the USA...though much of that wealth ends up being sent back to Tokyo....

False.

If you look at the price of a new vehicle, a large % of it is the expense involved in building a vehicle (labor + components + mfg overhead). Nearly all of which remains local to the country in which it is constructed.

Actual profit is a very small portion of a vehicle's sales price.
