Toyotas are built in the south of the US bacause of special tax treatment BYTHE GOVERNMENT.. I though it was to avoid unions........as in right to work states. What special tax treatment did the GOVERNMENT give Toyota other then tax incentives by state governments to attract new business. I wasn't aware of any federal government incentives.

Al, > Except nothing...Toyota exists as a car company because of government intervention... I don't doubt that the Japanese government gives a lot of favors and assistance to Toyota, but to argue that Toyota would not exist as a car company without said assistance and favors requires proof on your part. > Toyotas are built in the south of the US bacause of special tax treatment BYTHE GOVERNMENT... TWY already addressed your B.S. > you can't be in the electronics industry and ignore the fact that Japan heavily subsidized domestic.companies to achieve competitive advantage... And yet the American electronics industry is competing just fine, even in the face of heavily subsidized competition from Asia. Keep digging that hole, Al. Eventually you might find gold. Tenchusatsu
