*Sigh*. Who is Honda? When money is paid to Honda for one of their cars, where does it go, besides the income and FICA taxed employee's wages? Does Honda own the American land the 13 plants sit on?

Great auto presence! Now, how about (a partial list) American owned operated and supplied auto industries, fabric and leather industries, shoe and clothing industries, military component fabrication for military equipment, fabricators for aircraft components, manufactures for the fabricating equipment itself, computers and peripherals, components for computers and peripherals, furniture manufacturers still able to compete?

Give me one good reason for world trade, to the extent we are involved in it, over making what people need domestically and selling to each other in this country. Justify your reason as a greater boon to American (only American, I could care less about others) economic health against the already experienced economic health of the 20th century decades where we practiced the latter.

So, when definitively shown to be wrong on one subject, ignore it and change the subject to something related but completely different. And do it with lots of verbage to complete the attempted snow job.

Gotcha. Ta-ta.

Corporate income tax, capital investment, land acquisition, marketing, advertising, subsidiaries, other suppliers/vendors, charity, state and local taxes, etc.
