Before the critics say anything, this is not a mass e-mail yet. This is a clip taken out of the Brevard Business News and I thought it was worthy to share with everyone.
Written by Ed O'Donnell, President of O'Donnells Quality Pontiac Buick GMC truck.
"It seems to me that North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and most of our foreign Nations trade agreements have resulted in out sourcing many of our countrys jobs and importing most of their products. My profession is selling Pontiac buick and GMC Trucks at a dealership that employs approximately 50 people. As a practical matter, I cant sell cars in India or China and I cant sell cars to people in this country that dont have jobs. It is unbelievable taht in our country, free trade means that they can protect their own markets from our goods while they invade our markets with theirs.
Why do we do this? Whether you buy a car from me our not, think about whats going on in our world and insist on buying American products. The money you will save will go into your pocket and the money you spend will go into Americas pocket. Between our foreign nations treaties and NAFTA we have helped a lot of economies in the world except ours. What can we do? For now you can help get Americas economy back in the right direction with smart decisions regarding your purchase of any product. check the label before you buy. That will keep the money in this country and bring back the jobs.
A lot of people ask me, "how can you tell a foreign car, you guys get parts from all over the world and my foreign car was built in Indiana." Well heres how I tell. Volkswagen, BMW, Mercedes, world head quarters, Germany. Thats foreign. Kia, Hynudai world headquarters, Seoul, South Korea, thats foreign. Toyota, Honda, Nissan world headquarters, Tokyo, Japan, thats foreign. Then there are these, Ford, General Motors, Chrysler, world headquarters, Detroit Mi, USA. THATS American. It doesn't matter where they screw the parts together, the business, the cash and the jobs go out of our country and into theirs. The money goes back to Japan, Korea, Germany and other counties to pay for their health care, education, parks and playgrounds.
The imports would lead you to believe that they make cars and trucks in the US. This is not true. They assemble cars from parts made mostly in Japan, Korea and other foeign countries. there is a big difference in assembling vehicles and making vehicles. Conversely, 85% of all Fm parts used to build cars and trucks come from the US. Only a small percentage of parts used to assemble import cars come from the Us. ex Lexus #%, Kia 4%, BMW 11% and Hyundai 1%.
In closing, right now our American automobiles rank among the best in the world in styling, quality and fuel mileage. Why not buy American? This country wouldn't be what it is today if it was'nt for our forefathers and manufacturing. Lets not lose sight of that. Lets all help get the economy back where it needs to be. We are one f the most powerful nations in the world. Wouldn't we be better off if we protected American businesses and bought American products?"
