Republicans aid and abet Japan's war on American Workers
There a number or factors that have made Japanese Automobile Manufacture competitive in the American marker:

Firstly, they have subsided their market by artificial inflation of Yen. This amounts to a reduction of from $4,500 for the most economical sedan to over $16,000 for a luxury sedan. This provides them with a tremendous advantage in our market.

Secondly, they have located in Southern States that have provided them with substantial incentives amounting to hundreds of millions of dollars. These include building of roads, donation of land, and tax breaks, etc. They also have taken advantage of the lower cost of living in these areas to pay lower wages.

Thirdly, the Japanese have block the U.S. Automakers from marketing their cars in their country. The have not leveled tariffs, but use obstructionists tactics to make it virtually impossible to met their requirements that they change at will.


The United States should retaliate by placing a stiff tariff on all Japanese goods. This should not be limited to Japan but should include any imports for any country that has goods manufactured with slave labor wages.

"Republicans aid"...

No matter how you feel about Detroit, our enemies are the republicans, and they have laid themselves out as enemies of the American worker.

Nakedly and shamelessly the pubbies lay there in the sunshine exposing themselves as enemies of the common man. It is something we have been waiting for for years. In the past they hid behind bushes but now they are out in the open as voting against us.

4. It has nothing to do about tired old Yellow Crap
It is evident that you don't even know how to read. This is a Democratic board, the Repukian board is now the street at the sewage plant.
