An US vehicle sold will profit US employees who built it, the pay they make from it will profit other US workers when they spend it. An Asian vehicle sold will only profit the US workers who assembled it but what about the other big portion of Asian workers who built the parts? Asian car makers will invest your money in Asia to make better vehicles and more Americans will buy them because they will be better than US ones.
I worked in a Ford plant in France that was built in the early 70's and it will close in a couple of years because a new one is going to be built in Eastern Europe where labour is cheaper. Some day Ford, GM and Chrysler will have to do the same in the US if they want to survive.
Today the 3 big are in danger and soon we will see vehicles made in China being sold here. Imagine what will happen when a Chinese car built by workers paid a bowl of rice a day will come to the US market.
If you are patriotic don't just support your troops, buy American made products and start boycotting imported ones. Your future depends on it!
