    Not at all! They contribute nothing to the American economy except inflation.

      That makes zero sense. How do they benefit by selling and manufacturing cars in other countries, if not by making money?

        Weird, right? So people make money while working for Ford, for example.

        Ford the automaker gets paid and makes “profit” in Murca.

        Profit goes to the 1%. The 1% contributes nothing to the economy by dodging taxes and securing a greater share of the overall wallet in Murca.

        This causes inflation because there’s less money circulating. Huh. It’s almost like the profits do nothing, despite what Reagan told you.
