Where did I say it wasn't relevant? I am asking how they impact decisions about expenses. Expenses are not subject to taxation in the first place, they offset income. Or are you saying that moving production offshore helps them escape taxes on profits altogether? Wouldn't that require reincorporating as a foreign company?

Marchionne Seen Missing Fiat Sales Target by $19 Billion - Businessweek

Quote:

To counter the severe slump in European sales, Marchionne is considering building Chrysler models in Italy, including Jeeps, for export to North America. The Italian government is evaluating tax rebates on export goods to help Fiat. Marchionne may announce details of his plan as soon as Oct. 30, the people said.

Hey, at least it's not China!

Whoops: PolitiFact's 'Lie of the Year' Turns Out to Be True | The Weekly Standard

Quote:

Fiat (FIA.MI) and its U.S. unit Chrysler expect to roll out at least 100,000 Jeeps in China when production starts in 2014 as they seek to catch up with rivals in the world's biggest car market. ...

"We expect production of around 100,000 Jeeps per year which is expandable to 200,000," [Chrysler CEO Sergio] Marchionne, who is also CEO of Chrysler, said on the sidelines of a conference, adding production could start in 18 months.

So, yes, it's confirmed that Jeep will be producing cars in China. According to the Toledo Blade last November:

Currently, Jeeps sell in more than 120 countries around the world, including China. They're nearly all built in factories in the United States.

By expanding Jeep production to China, instead of increasing Jeep production in the U.S., it's safe to say Jeep (or more properly, Fiat, which now owns Chrysler) is choosing to create more jobs overseas instead of in America where taxpayers bailed the company out.

I read that, and that is not new, there was no questioning that there would be Jeeps built in China to be distributed in foreign markets, not US markets..

Will probably be a completely different set of safety and emission standards..

Knowledge and facts are a good thing, PR.

If nothing is learned by all from the election last November it is that made up realities do NOT win in the longterm - - Rove, Morris, Trump, etc. all tried to manufacture facts. You can keep flailing, it entertaining to watch. The Nate Silver's of the world won.

Here's a MACRO view of the US economy by an actual economist from an actual economic site. You can pick and choose anecdotal evidence all you want while the rest of us prosper.
