Default Re: Top 10 most "American" cars

so now that Anheuser busch is foreign owned whos refusing to buy budlight and Budweiser?

If it employs American workers to build products i dont care what you call it. its made in the usa.

more than i can say about 99% of the rest of the products people wont give a second thought to buying that are not made in the usa.

seems odd to me that you would put your support behind a US headquarted company that employees 0 us workers to build there products that they sell in the US as opposed to the companies that actually employ Americans to build products that are used by Americans regardless of were they are headquarted.

in a global economy define a US product.
1) made/built in the USA
2) made in some other contry but by a company headquarted in the US.
3) made in some other country, head quarted in some other country but 51% owned by US citizens.

so which is better. employ tens of thousands of US workers makeing products and send profits to a few hundred executives not in the US. or NOT employ tens of thousands of US workers but put money in the pockets of a few hundred US executives?

what's "send untaxed profits to some other country" is that after the SS tax medicare tax income tax that is removed from the workers pay by the us GOV. is that after they spend that money they were payed at the local store on food, gas, clothes which then get sales taxed. Or how about the property tax on there house they pay with the money they made from that job. Or the sales tax on that car that was sold at that local dealer who then had to pay income tax (as a local dealer) on that sale, and local property tax on his building.
