Its Official-Toyota pulls the plug

It’s official as Toyota moves production from the unionized Fremont plant to various non-union plants, where Toyota can get their vehicles made with cheap labor and little or no benefits or pensions. It’s another great example of the wonders of free trade, with our manufacturing base in this country being outsourced to foreign soil, or moving to states where companies don’t have to worry about burdens like worker’s rights or decent wages. I am left wondering who is going to buy these expensive cars or trucks once the middle class is finally eliminated in this country.

yea - I'm not sure if America is going to pull it's collective head out of it's ass - the conservatives have been too good at convincing the working class to vote against their own interests for so long now. I remind people that the more conservative the state is, the poorer it is - just look at the South, where Toyota is moving it's non-union plants.
