A few Days ago I read a bumper sticker that read, BUY AMERICAN, SUPPORT AMERICA AND SPEAK AMERICAN. I thought, you tell 'em. Only to realize the bumper sticker was on the back of a Camry.

I use to feel the same way as you when I would see something like this but now I've changed my thinking a little. I say buy what you want but FORD will make you a better car at a better price and you can take pride in that. Remember in the 80's some people spent Money on Yugo's so Americans will blow their money on all kinds of shit.

I thought the same as well until my Aunt and Uncle and about 5 friends got jobs in Georgetown building those Camrys....They are American people, speak english and live in Ky. So when people buy that 1 car they are doing what the sticker says. I do not like that most of the profits go back to Japan. But its better then them working for 8hrs.

Just like the 400-700 temps they hire and then fire every year so they dont have to hire them full time?

Your family and 5 friends wouldnt have to get jobs at Toyota and watch profits go back to Japan if people over here would quit buying Toyota's. If the people that buy those, buy Ford instead, then orders go up as well as the need for more employees to meet demand. Therefore, if people would quit buying non american, then the american plants would need more employees and your family and friends could also have a job working at Ford.
