Here’s what I mean:
On TV they were interviewing a jobless couple whose house was in foreclosure. On the driveway was a Nissan. I shouted,“Guys, Japanese are bowing at you for their jobs.” Ugh! Jobless Americans driving foreign cars.....putting even more Americans out of work! The reality: the Japanese have been luring us for years. They give their vehicles American names. Our media give them free advertising. And they flood us with seductive ads. So no wonder we’re duped. As to quality, see the March ‘09 J.D. Power report: For reliability, Buick is No. 1, and Lincoln & Mercury are in top 5. Today, differences between Japanese and American, exist only in persons' minds influenced by media who tout Japanese cars. Most media are BIASED. For years they have been touting Japanese cars and panning American ones. Japanese dealers say:“Consumer Reports says, Edmunds says.” FOR FREE, these publications help sell MILLIONS of Japanese cars. Yes, media’s over the years constant bashing of the Big 3 has made it a nightmare for them to compete with the Japanese. And because our automakers are such a major part of our economy, this costs us JOBS, JOBS, JOBS, especially NOW! But the Japanese say,“We give America jobs. We build cars here and hire Americans to build them.” So, they assemble SOME here. The idea is to make people think,“Since they’re built here, they’re American.” HOGWASH! They’re still Japanese! And here’s more reality: MOST Japanese vehicles sold here are shipped from Japan by boat. But no matter where they’re built or their parts come from, what really matters is where profits go. FACT: every year Japanese parent-corporations in Japan reap BILLIONS from vehicles sold in America. Yes, 31% of their income comes from the U.S.(see Google) These billions help Japan, NOT America! We’re Japan’s cash cow! This, despite we have almost 50 million people with no health care, 37 million in poverty, 12 million kids hungry each day, 77,000 bridges needing rebuilding, highways crumbling, inner-city schools deteriorating, and unemployment the highest in 26 years. Considering those facts we feed Japan? Can we build and sell cars in Japan? Nope! In ‘08 they bought a measly 10,000 of ours. But they sold us 3 MILLION!!! Square shooters, NOT! They’ve even refused to buy apples from us! They’re fiercely loyal to their own products. In effect, they close their market to us. But they FEAST on America! And, BTW, the South Koreans are also parasites on our economy. They sell us 800,000 cars a year but buy only 6,000 of ours. At least the Germans, who build and sell cars here, buy lots of ours. So do the French, Spanish, Italians, British, Chinese, and South Americans. Yes, we build and sell cars almost everywhere but in Japan and South Korea. Another bummer: Many GM, Ford, and Chrysler dealers also sell Japanese cars. So, they don’t do what would sell many more American cars, that is, push:“DRIVE AMERICAN!” This would put a lot of Americans back to work. Anyway, it’s estimated from “FOREIGN-CAR-I-TIS,” we’ve already lost a million jobs. And if we continue blind to this, estimates say up to 3 million more jobs will be lost. And some predict with trickle down it could be 4 million. As to the 375,000 or so jobs we get from foreigners to assemble vehicles, well, if from that we lose 3-4 million jobs, that’s OK? And now with U.S. backing, GM and Chrysler are becoming better, stronger. Even so, the Japanese and Koreans are circling vultures hoping to devour our auto industry. Shall we help them by not supporting our own companies? NO! NO! Let’s back the new GM and Chrysler, as well as Ford, which on its own is strengthening. For two months now, Ford has outsold Toyota. Finally, we’re smelling the Japanese manure! Support America’s economy! DRIVE AMERICAN! P.S. Please pass this message on! |
