Look at GM, Chrysler and Ford, soon enough. Americans have put the U.S. auto industry into bankruptcy? Look at any parking lot and you will see more Toyotas, Nissans, Lexus, VWs and BMWs than American label cars. If a car says Ford the profits go to Detroit. If a car say Toyota the profits go to Tokyo. No matter where the cars are made. Remember only 10 to 15 percent of the cost of a car is labor. Motorola is facing the same fate. Who made your cell phone? Or did you care?

We all have our opinions. Buy American and sleep well tonight.
