According to the latest statistics something like 47% of American housholds pay NO FEDERAL INCOME TAX.

It was not found, because it is not there. Please provide the URL of the actual site or better yet, shut up.

You're making the claims. It is up to you to prove them.

I don't who considers this poster a blowhard (nice personal attack, btw), but he is not the person in this thread I would consider a blowhard.

No, it's your problem. You can't back your claim. If it is so easy to find the information, just post the URL.

Stop acting like you're a apoilled brat..

The fact is that the informatoin is not there. If I am wrong, just post the URL.

They're not Japanese corporations. They're US corporations that happen to be owned by Japanese companies. That's a big difference.

Bottom line, you're not worth my time.

I won't reply to your stupidity on this thread again, unless you can back your claim. You don't know what you're talking about.

Actually in 2008 is was closer to 49%, primary a result of the tax RATE cuts enacted under President Bush. The bottom rate was reduced for 15% down to

10%, a 331/3% reduction in the taxes paid by the working poor on their total adjusted income.

In addition exemptions for the working poor were increased making it possible for those American to receive the return of every dollar that was withheld during the year.

The poorest of the poor now get a tax refund GREATER than the amount they had withheld. In some cases as much as 50% more than withheld

The Dims of course said the tax cuts went to the "rich," but they had the lowest RATE reduction of all, 3%.

So anything that you post is automatically correct until proven otherwise.

Whatever.

Is it that hard for you to admit reality?

We don't make much any more, too costly.

You will be bitching about Bush for 50 years, no need for me to say more.

Yep, working poor to bailout GM. People could have been left with a lot more money if they just let GM die.

Why? Why not a flat rate. Too fair? I guess you are poor and looking for a free lunch.

Yep, Dims don't know which way is up.

Don't you even get anything right? What makes you believe I was bitching about Bush? He, like Presidents Kennedy and Reagan before him did the proper thing to help the economy, that was cut tax RATES to improve the cash flow that grew the economy, dummy.

It is the Dims that are spending trillions we do not have that can only hurt the economy for years to come.

Normally when one calculates the national content, the entire supply chain is included, and that would include most of the items you have mentioned.

"How much of the money stays in the USA" may be a bit sticky.

If one searches the US Department of Commerce site one can find which auto manufacturer uses the most American sourced parts and materials, to build the vehicles they manufacture in the US. If you do you will see Toyota in not on top, in fact Honda used more American sourced parts and materials to build the vehicle they manufacture in the US than Toyota

Including GM and Chrysler of course.

The myth of which country makes a car is anyones guess, and likely BS if they try to politically quantify it. My guess is no less than 10 countries are involved in *ANY* car made in North America today. Just a sampling:

Wire imported from the orient, as are the connectors, harnesses from Mexico. Nickel, steel and aluminium from god knows where refined outside of North America even if rolled in the US. Tires base material imported. Not likely much of any component in a vehicle is truly 100% US made.

In fact, if the US closed out all imports right down to screws and bolts, it would likey shut down auto production for years due to part and base material shortages. And certainly drive up the cost beyond any middle class affordability.

Made in America for auto dies 20+ years ago.

But, but, but 100% was never part of the discussion, dummy. The discussion was which manufacturer use the most AMERICAN materials and parts. Rather than parts and materials from countries OUTSIDE of the US.
