Maybe if more American would buy American cars EVERYONE would be better off rather than lining the pockets of those who killed 2600 Americans at Peral harbor.

How many did we kill at nagasaki and hiroshima? I believe it was many times more. WE also rebuilt Japan after the war, and taught them how to manufacture efficiently. After that they excelled and overtook us, because they kept wages (both worker AND ceo ) to a reasonable level. They also have a much better work ethic than US workers, if a worker can't do his job once he gets retrained, a second time he gets re-assigned or fired. LETS MAKE THE UNION SHOPS LIKE THAT, and see how many will get their 20 or 30 yrs in. They also LET THE PEOPLE RUNNING THE COMPANY MAKE THE DECISIONS , not saddle them with frivolous complaints and ridiculous demands. When the US companies adopt such guidelines then maybe more big 3 cars will be sold , as opposed to Toyota, Honda, Nissan, and Hyundai.

Were you even ALIVE then? What about all "we" have done in Iraq? I personally don't take any responsibility for that. Do you seriously think that the Toyota employees were responsible for Pearl Harbor?
I feel much safer driving a Toyota than a Ford, and they get better gas mileage. Economic protectionism is not the answer, at least for me. I will support domestic auto makers when they come up with a fuel-efficient design that is not vastly inferior to those of the foreign auto makers. You have every right to support American auto makers if you want, and I have every right not to.

<quoted text>Yes, I agree we all have "rights".....isn't that why we fight and die during wars to protect these rights?? I we spent our $$'s on domestic cars then our domestic car companies would have the R&D $$'s to to develop more fuel efficient cars. And how did Iraq get into the mix? Enjoy your Jap car and pleae take your "Support Our Troops" sticker off of it....it's way to hypacritical

You're a redneck loser. When you buy a Ford that was made in Mexico, how are you supporting Americans? You're not, you're giving Ford more reason to build cars in Mexico.

<quoted text>You missed the point and can't see beyond your "Ridiculous" liberal nose. Profits from foreign corporations that build cars here are going where?

If we all spent our money on domestic cars, the car companies would have no *incentive* to develop more fuel-efficient cars. Why spend money on R&D when you have a captive market?

Wrong again! CEO compensation is a very small % of the total income of the company. Do a little research. CEO's first responsibility is to the shareholders and ROI
