Because you make things worse. Here’s what I mean:

A while back, on TV I saw something disturbing:

NBC was talking to a jobless couple with a house in foreclosure. On the driveway was their Nissan. I shouted,“Hey, Guys, a couple in Japan are bowing at you for their Nissan jobs.”

Jobless Americans driving Japanese cars.....helping put even more Americans out of work! Duh!

Then I see people trying to fool themselves with US flag decals on their prides of Japan. They ignore that the only decals that truly befit their Japanese vehicles are Rising Sun emblems! And who would use those? Noone!

When I see someone parking one I want to say:“You’re hurting America’s economy.” But I keep my peace.

Instead, I tell myself, THEY JUST DON’T KNOW. The Japanese have been seducing them for years. They give their vehicles American-sounding names. And our media gives them billions in free advertising that they’re supposedly better.* And they flood us with seductive ads. So, no wonder so many buy the pitch.

*But see March ‘09 J.D. Roberts report: For reliability, Buick is No. 1, tops Lexus. And Lincoln & Mercury are in the top 5. Today, differences between Japanese and American, exist only in minds of persons influenced by media who still sell Japanese cars. Our media is BIASED and influences sales. This costs America’s economy dearly.

Yes, the Japanese get media to promote their vehicles FOR FREE...and knock American makes. OUR media shoots OUR economy in the foot!

But the Japanese say:“Don’t forget, we give America jobs. Our cars are built in the US by Americans. They’re American.”

Yes, Americans do assemble some. And per the Japanese master plan this makes people think they’re apple pie American. Well, that’s pure BALONEY!

Fact: MOST Japanese vehicles sold here come by boat from Japan. As to those assembled here, from them we get about 300,000 jobs. But WHAT A PRICE we pay for them!

And ask this: Irrespective of where this car or truck is assembled, or its parts come from, what country gets the profit from it? Fact: every year Japanese mother-corporations in Japan reap billions from vehicle sales in the US. Yes, almost 1/3 of their income comes from the US. And these billions benefit Japan, NOT America!

We’re Japan’s cash cow! This, despite almost 50 million with no health care, 37 million in poverty, 12 million kids hungry each day, 77,000 bridges close to collapse, highways crumbling, schools deteriorating, and unemployment 9% and climbing.

Considering that, we feed Japan? In return, can we build and sell cars there? No! They won’t buy “nuttin” from us! They’ve even refused to buy our apples. Unlike us, they’re fiercely loyal to their own products. They close their 160-million-person market to us. But they FEAST on America. They believe in fair trade everywhere but in Japan.

At least the Germans, who sell cars here, let us sell in Germany. And the Chinese do too. So do the French, Spanish, Italians, British, and Latin Americans. We build and sell American cars almost everywhere but in Japan.

As to jobs the Japanese so “generously” give us: as said we get about 300,000. But it’s estimated, we’ve already lost a million jobs from “JAPANESE-CAR-I-TIS.” And if we keep burying our heads in the sand about this, and our makers lose more market, estimates say up to 4 or 5 million more of us will lose jobs. And some predict with trickle-down it could be more like 6 million.

So, for 300,000 jobs, we lose 6 million? This is OK? We just turn our cheeks, let this happen?

NO! NO! That’s not the American way! We’re not quitters! We must fight back by supporting our own industry: FEED HANDS THAT FEED US!

DRIVE AMERICAN! Support our own economy, not Japan’s.
