Toyota Reports Record Quarterly Profit

TOKYO (AP) - Toyota, hot on the heels of General Motors to become the world's No. 1 automaker, reported a 7.3 percent jump in quarterly profit Tuesday on booming sales in North America and Europe that offset sluggish demand in Japan.

Toyota Motor Corp. (TM) recorded group net profit of 426.8 billion yen ($3.6 billion) in the three months ended Dec. 31, up from 397.6 billion yen the same period the previous year.

I always had a question about profits. Don't huge profits just mean that the company is overcharging its customers? Theoretically those companies stole the money from their customers first, so I don't care if Clinton steals it from them.

when domestic manufactures owned 80-90% of the market share, yah.. it was better for Americans. 50 years later, thanks to free trade, we build most our vehicles with slave labor, and import slave built cars to improve the bottom lines. nationalism is a good thing, it ensures independance.. globalism is planetary communism

The government stopped propping up your poorly run companies, if they were well run they would have become more efficient and produce a better product that people want to buy. It would make more sense to blame the companies for being bad at their job, not the government for not propping up and paying for their incompetence.

you seem to miss the part about the illegal income tax, which they imposed on us to make up for the loss of tax revenue on imports; which are unfair burdens that free people do not deserve from their representative government.

any third world country can out bid a similar America company, because we cant get away with paying people 5 cents an hr; in that case we do deserve the benefit of a pro-nationalist economic policy- in order to insure that our standards of living arent leveraged with impoverished nations like Mexico

Is a man who takes out a huge loan from the bank actually rich, or does he just pretend to be to keep up appearances with his neighbours?

Why should foriegners make up the shortfall that you don't want to pay because it's unfair to pay your own way? Yeah really stupid thing to say, but so is what you said.

under article 1 of the constitution, congress has the right* to regulate commerce with foreign nations, so that we can use the tax revenue to fund government. instead, the bankers began taxing our labor, unconstitutionally, along with a myriad of other socialist taxes.. and removed the levies on imports that we were reliant on, for revenue, and to preserve our home field advantage.

Those are your only choices.

Line up, cause we're all getting raped.

I just hope the house of cards falls worldwide cause without the oppressive monetary system we all live under that controls our daily lives I'm wondering who would really come out on top. Then there will be a whole lot of people shutting their ignorant traps up.

I live for that day.
