Posted in: Japanese ask: Is U.S. backlash on Toyota a ploy to boost American auto producers? See in context
Excellent people work for Toyota right here in America -- hardworking Americans working for a company they believe in and support. Employees and U.S. Toyota customers are no less American because they work for/purchase from a "foreign" company. Many U.S. legislators have Toyota factories, suppliers, corporate headquarters/offices, etc. in their districts. Toyota brings significant revenue into those districts and those legislators would be damaged by targeting Toyota for no other reason than to sell "domestic" vehicles. However, in Washington nothing should be ruled out(have you read about all the pork barrel spending?). It is important to determine the "big picture" but also see all the individual pieces before making sweeping generalizations.
