A friend if mine posted this in another forum ,but thought you guys would like to read it.
while we are on the subject of taxes.
i know this post is going to boil some blood but hopefully i will get my point across.
i just read this article http://www.nbc4columbus.com/money/1956890/detail.html and it didnt take much time for me to figure out who the state is targetting on this issue, and i think it is about time they do. i wont mention any names but the place lights up the sky in marysville. before everyone gets all excited i would like to just say a few things. here ill get it out HONDA is the culprit.
1. if you didnt know honda built the plants where they did in the usa because they were given a grant to "not have to pay property taxes or other related business taxes". now this is good because it brought in all these jobs to the areas that the plants were built which caused growth to these areas, but what it did in return was raise property taxes for those that live in the areas of the plants, who is paying the taxes, the citizens are, who isnt, honda. lets say ford were to build a plant, do you think they get a tax break... nope .
2. where does a majority of the profits honda makes from all them products that come out of the ohio plants go, right back to where the name originates.
3. people buy these cars thinking there buying an american made product. not so, just one that is put together here. first thing a honda owner will tell you when you say it is a foreign car, no it isnt, its made in america. back in 92 or 93 i think was the year, the only thing made stateside was the piston rings, but since then the have gotten a little smarter and opend up all these little manufacturing plants in small towns such as kalida ohio and pay people cookie crumbs. go to that town and ask there where they would rather work.. at the kalida honda factory or the lima (ford) engine plant. ill bet my paycheck that 9 out of 10 would say the engine plant.
3. they (foreign) have forced the big 3 to move jobs out of this country, just so they can try to make the same amount of profit so inverstors will stick with them. it doestn take rocket science to figure out that something can be made cheaper in a third world country. its not about the american way anymore, its about the american dollar. GREED.
4. quality will always be issue no matter what your talkin about. saying im not going to buy something because it wears out or it breaks is just wishful thinking.. never move a bone in you body, that way you dont break it. probally alot of the reasons quality went to heLL in this country was because look where all the materials / textiles started to come from back in the 70's. why do the japanese make better products, probally cause they dont have the kinda labor laws or rights like people in the united states do. they go to work, look down and build fishing reels all day.. when there done with there 12 hour day, they go home.
what happens when an area has a significant amount of jobs lost.
1. less money is spent. local business all suffer.
2. people vote no on school levy's, kids suffer, teachers suffer.
3. healthcare standards drop, people cant afford it.
4. people live in fear if there the next one to loose there job.
5. marriages suffer
summary
i could probally go on and on but i wont. if we ( i am guilty too) the american people dont start to make some changes this is not going to be america, someone is going to sneek in and take control right out from under our feet, which i think it has already shown. just take a look at the ohio warn act and look at the number of jobs lost in ohio in the last 5 years, and keep in mind that is not the complete list, but only mass amounts at an individual time.
hope no one takes this personally
fire away.
