"made in America" doesn't always mean it's "American made"
toyota, honda, etc may be made in America. But guess where all the profits from the sale of these cars go?....Japan. And the argument "they're putting Americans to work" dosen't hold up either. If Americans weren't buying jap-crap They'd be buying American cars instead, and all those toyota and honda workers would be needed at GM, Ford & Mopar.
