I find it a bit strange that so many American will post in other NGs to
shout with glee that they are foolish enough to hand over their hard earned
money, to buy an over priced car that is not better on average than other
brands, from a Japanese corporation that pays no US federal corporate taxes,
yet bitch an moan and ask the government to step in when American oil
companies earns a SMALLER profit on which they pay millions of dollars in US
federal corporate taxes

TOKYO -- Toyota Motor Corp.'s modest earnings increase for the January-
March quarter shows how the challenges inherent with rapid growth have
begun to weigh on the auto maker's bottom line.
Toyota, which surpassed Detroit competitor General Motors Corp. as the
world's biggest auto maker by sales volume for the quarter, said higher
raw-material costs and sluggish demand in the U.S. were among factors
that led to 8.9% growth in the fiscal fourth quarter. The car maker
also had to invest heavily in quality control, as more manufacturing
capacity led to more recalls in the U.S. Meanwhile, research spending
rose amid new environmental demands and a faster product cycle.

Group net profit rose to 440.1 billion yen ($3.7 billion). Operating
profit fell 2.8%. Toyota projected a 0.4% rise in group net profit for
the current fiscal year ending March 2008.

Many of our Toyota buyer friends would like us to forget that Toyota was the
number one company in recalls in 2006

How sad it is for Toyota. <

Only 8.9% growth and 0.4% net profit increase during a period of heavy
expansion to catch up with demand.

That's an interesting take from an article that said something a bit
different. Demand has dropped off, quality has dropped off and recalls
have
increased due to the suffering quality.

It probably has something to do with the idea that when you send tax money
to the Federal Government they spend it on blowing up things in Iraq, and
when you limit oil company gouging, it reduces gas prices wich sends the
money to the pockets of the people in the country who use it to pay for
things like eating.

Don't worry, after the next election and the idiot in the WH is removed,
and the money pit that is Iraq gets plugged up, I think you will see less
call
for silly schemes to try to divert money around the cash-sink that is the
federal government.
