Why Did You Buy A Foreign Auto?

Worse yet............

.....
We are buying more from the Chinese and creating even greater wealth per dollar spent with them than we are with the Japanese. Further more, Japan, at this time in history, is not our future enemy, but China is and will be.

I am not defending the Japanese car, but rather pointing out an additional and qualifying point.

You are correct about the devastating effect of buying an enormous number of our cars from numerous overseas companies. Seems to fit right in with everything else we are doing bass-ackwards. It's called a death wish, or end of empire. Numbers don't lie. Only liars ignore numbers. We are being had.

Although

I've only bought American cars I do not have a problem with foreign
car buyers or companies (since WWII). Foreign car companies pay their
employees well, even American workers.

The bigger point is the better one. That you should know where the
things you buy are from - company and country.

Some countries are not worth buying from - China, Burma, etc.
And many countries working conditions are not worth buying from this
is up to the buyer, but for me if I don't think they are making a living
wage I won't buy from them.

Companies of course matter what you believe in - enough said - but
also know what the companies that you can buy from believe and
practice.

Yes, it makes shopping difficult, but you'd be surprised what you can
live without (especially stuff from China).
