Why are the working men & women of America letting the ruling class elite via puppet bought & paid for politicians get away with this? You show NO organized resistance! WHY?

I would like to know what an American car company is anymore. Chrysler is now in Germany. Ford in Sweden. Dodge trucks made in Mexico. Taurus's are made in Australia. The "American" car companies are leaving the US by their own decisions.
The cause of this move can be looked at from two perspectives. On the side of the car companies, they blame the unions that have forced such high wages and benefits for their under (or un-) educated assembly-line workers. On the side of the workers, they blame the companies for outsourcing to cheaper countries, looking to increase the profit margins, thus selling out the American worker.
Which way is it? Who's fault is it? Maybe it's both but maybe it's the consumer's fault instead for seeking out that better deal. It's really a combination of everything, but I tend to lay blame on the unions for not being able to adapt to the global economy. We're not in the industrial revolution anymore. Unions have become outdated in many regards and the "union pride" has destroyed its own industry.
Let's look at the other side of this too though. What is a Japanese car company? Honda's made in Ohio. Toyota's from Texas. Even South Korean and German car companies are willing to line the American workers' pockets with US-based factories in order to get higher quality. Why are they able to do this? Have you ever heard of a union at a Toyota factory? No. Funny thing though, these "foreign" companies are bringing jobs to the US as fast as the "American" companies are taking them away.
So, what really is an "American" car company anymore? They're all global to me.

first off there is no american auto industry anymore, all of the companies are international. The main problem is what the unions had got promised form management, and no it is thime to pay the piper, and big susprize they can pay off what they had promised. China is lacking so badly in quality it would be a long time to see it happen. The majority of the japanese cars sold in america are made in the use, so yes the usa auto manufacturing is strong, just not in the rust belt

That's silly. First, there are NO Chinese cars in the U.S. - none!
Secondly, the Japanese cars are popular here because they are GOOD CARS! Americans prefer to buy the better cars, instead of having their government tell them which cars they MUST buy to "support" their own country. We are a free country, and that means being free to buy cars, regardless of who makes them. Why should anyone organize to oppose Japanese cars? That's ridiculous. Why do you hate the Japanese? Perhaps that's a better question.
It's not about "working class" or "ruling class" - we don't really divide ourselves that way in the U.S. Our system is based on each individual making their own choices.
