When Jimmy Carter was president, he made a big chunk of change when he allowed Japanese mini-vans to enter the U.S.A. as passanger cars.

Excuse me - it was light duty trucks and yes Japan pays our government taxes to ship their vehicles over.
He took a large pay-off and the vehicles came in with passanger car taxes instead of truck taxes.

Jimmy Carter didn't make a dime on any such thing. FYI, mini-vans didn't exist during the Carter administration. The first mini-van in the US was the Dodge Caravan and was introduced in 1984 during the Reagan administration.
