If at all possible, try to buy American, even if some of the cars were built in Mexico, or Canada. The profits from the sale of the cars will still be going to an American company, and the taxes will be paid.

You will also be keeping the workers employed and paying taxes again. They will spend their paychecks and again pay more taxes. All of this, will help reduce your tax burden, and improve your community. The old big three is like an octopus, in that they stretch out in all directions and affect so many people without them knowing about it. I realized this when I went into a smoke shop in a local mall. The owner said that business was really down, since our factory was on strike. You wouldn't even think that they would have been affected by it at all. Just goes to show, how the American auto business affects so much of the economy.

good luck with your decision.
