Sounds to me like our first mistake was not letting the southern states go back in the 1860s. Now we have southern Republicans systematically destroying the entire US economy mainly to give foriegn automakers in their own district a competative advantage. It isn't really even helping their own States. If they are run just like Japanese companies in the tech industry these plants pay no State or Federal income tax whatsoever because they recost foriegn made parts every month to ensure that the assembly plants themselves never turn a profit. Add to that the fact that they pay much lower wages with fewer benefits than union shops and all you have there are parasites syphoning wealth out of dumbass southern states that are too clueless to notice. Can you say Walmarting?
