Re: American Jobs.
My dad's "American Truck" (GMC) was made in Mexico and Canada...hardly American. The only Americans making money from the sale of that truck were the fat cats in the tall buildings that own stock in the company.
Meanwhile, my father in laws Toyota was made in Indiana. There are hundreds of employees putting together 'foreign' trucks, but this time the fat cats are in a different country.
Now I'd much rather see guys and gals like me making the money and having a job as opposed to the fat cats.
personally where I sit i'm buying the better truck for the better price. I don't care where it was made, but I were to decide solely on the "American-ness" of it I'd go Toyota
