But make no mistake, outside of the Big 3, profits flow back to thier respective countires.
Very true.
And regardless of some of the 'good' that has come from the likes of Toyota, Honda, Nissan, BMW, Mercedes etc having set up plants in the U.S. and employing Americans, the profits of those companies ALSO goes back their individual countries of origin.
They didn't set up shop here out of the 'goodness of their hearts' or their 'undying devotion to the U.S.' LOL...they did it (as any smart corporation would) to sell more vehicles here and make more MONEY for their own kids back home in Japan and Germany.
