I would like to say though that the US needs an economy boost more than China or Japan does at this point in time. Little by little they are taking over and building up their countries, while ours keeps going in the dumper.Cheyennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13770041132796530904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20801017.post-81534334772135726522008-04-28T05:39:00.000-07:002008-04-28T05:39:00.000-07:00Cheyenne, I love you but you know I also love argu...Cheyenne, I love you but you know I also love arguments. <BR/>Japan doesn't own Toyota any more than the US owns GM. Both companies are public corporations and are owned by shareholders. I imagine the profits go mostly to shareholders of both companies in the United States, Dubai, Hong Kong, and Japan as well as a bunch of other countries wherever the investors have their base. <BR/>How is putting money in the pockets of Chinese workers more patriotic than putting money in the pockets of American workers, may I ask?<BR/>Now I have to worry if you are still talking to me!<BR/>And Hey, I made special mention of Jr in this post just for you!RevJimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10197393011402035296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20801017.post-38000497072004474412008-04-27T23:05:00.000-07:002008-04-27T23:05:00.000-07:00I have no problem with Toyota outside the confines...I have no problem with Toyota outside the confines of NASCAR. Inside NASCAR, it's just un-American for them to be there. What I do have against Toyota is that most of the profits go to Japan. We may benefit in workers' salaries, but the profits from sales go to boost Japan's economy...something we don't exactly need right now. (I'm not a GM person either, we own Fords ~ always have, always will).<BR/>I don't want to start an argument here...it's just the way I feel.<BR/>I am off to bed now as it's way past my bedtime; I will catch you in the morning if you're still talking to me. lolCheyennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13770041132796530904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20801017.post-66225306044376011312008-04-27T22:47:00.000-07:002008-04-27T22:47:00.000-07:00The people in Alabama didn't have any problem with...The people in Alabama didn't have any problem with Toyota winning. Oh that's right, Toyota employs thousands of people in Alabama, where they build the Toyota engines. Where are the majority of GM employees? China, at the Daiwoo factories. Yup, GM is an American company alright....RevJimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10197393011402035296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20801017.post-37130926908309706202008-04-27T22:27:00.000-07:002008-04-27T22:27:00.000-07:00If only the two race winners from this weekend did...If only the two race winners from this weekend didn't drive a Toyota. Sorry, I just can't get past that aspect of NASCAR racing yet.<BR/>It was quite an exciting race for me. But I had to walk away toward the end because I couldn't take the anticipation of where Junior would finish, not to mention who went on to win the dang race.Cheyennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13770041132796530904noreply@blogger.com
