I do know that a lot of Americans are in engineering at American Honda and the Evansville Toyota plant,

  How many engineers has got there.  How many in design of new bikes and future designs and products.  I would just imagine that the American engineers they have are there to make the Jap robots run better so they can get more work out of the American workers.

  Did you know that the Japanese can get American workers cheaper than Japanese workers and they how don't have to pay for shipping from Japan.  So they can make more profit of the backs of the American workers and send it back to Japan.  Using it to invest it for something for themselves or to buy another American company lock stock and barrel and send it profits back to Japan.  So they can buy another American company and send the profits back to Japan and so on and so on.

  Would you believe that an American cannot own 100% of a company in Japan.  49% is all they can own.  They cannot own a controlling interest in a Japanese company.  Fair Isn't it.

I think it is like that in a lot of countries. I would have to look it up but some countries foreigner's can't own land, they can get long term leases but can't actually own the land. Sometime I think we need something like that here.

"Ownership" of land is just a false hope created by humankind. You may think you own the house you live in and the land it sits upon, but you don't. You pay the state/city rent for all that; in the form of "taxation". Fail to pay it and see how long you "own" it!

Taxes are one thing and "ownership" is another. If I "own" my house and land no one can take it from me except the government and then only if I don't pay my taxes or by emmient (sp?) domain. If I lease land and build a house, what do I do if the "landlord" refuses to renew the lease?

Put wheels on it and call it a trailer.

Your home and the land it is sitting on are NEVER paid for. You have to pay the state/city or they will take it from you. Get sick and find yourself unable to pay the medical bills and the hospital/doctor will take it from you. Be found at fault for an action or condition that imposes physical harm upon another and the courts will take it from you. . . Unless of course you pay the additional cost (payments) to acquire insurance to cover you in these cases. . .

Anyway you look at it, you NEVER own you home or land outright. EVER. You could never just own it, and grow / raise your own foods and rely on that for the rest of your life. You HAVE to keep paying. . .

  I got four trailers, trying not paying wheel, property, license plate taxes on them.

  When I first started my plumbing apprenticeship one of my classes was taught by a "Old" man who was 74.  The first night of the class he gave us his background.  He said he started in plumbing helping his plumber father being a Goforer when he was around 8 years old.  "for you guys who don't know what a Goforer is, dad would say go get that, go do this, help me lift this and bring me that and crawl under the house and bring out the tools I left there".

  He had worked up his business to 5 full time plumbers and 6 trucks and quit plumbing at 65 and sold his business in Indianapolis.

  He said, you young guys are going into a business that can be very rewarding.  Let me give you some rules I learned the hard way.

  Number one, you never own anything.  Everthing you think you own or are going to possess is "rented".  Let me repeat that and again.  Everything you possess and are going to posses is rented.  It is rented for the length of your life.  If you don't believe me, go watch a funeral prosession and see how much shit or stuff the person get to take with them.

  You young guys are going to want to build a new house.  Number one thing on sewer lines.  There three types, one that will last 40 years, you don't want that,  One what will last at least 80 years, the price is good and will last as long as you live.  One that will last at least 120 years very expensive and why in hell would want to spend money you won't get any use out of.  On plumbing fixtures. These is junk, good, very good and very expensive junk.  I like Delta, very good and easy to repair.  Everything in my house is Delta.

   Never use cheap or cut corners on any plumbing that can't be gotten to easily.  In walls, under under concrete, in the ground.  We're not like doctors, we have to dig up our mistakes.

  One thing more for tonight.  Never, never let someone, a contractor, talk you into cutting illegal corners, breaking the plumbing code, a customer talking you into putting some junky, cheap piece of  plumbing crap into their propery.  Because these people will be the first ones to turn in, rat you out, ruin you business, blackmail you.  The customer that you put the cheap plumbing in for.  You will be back to fix the damn thing with in a year or be turned into the BBB.

  After class if you got any questions, I'll tell anything I know.  But, there is some sleeping dogs, we'll let sleep.  He was one of the best instructors I ever had.

   :chick: Henry, if you think it's bad now, under Obama.  I want you to put your right leg over your right shoulder and  your left leg over your left shoulder and kiss your ass good by. :yes: :biggrin:

   You haven't seen any thing as bad as it's going to get if the dumbasses put the Republicans back in control.  This country is going to be completely shut down.  I can't see anything good coming of this piece of shit.  The Republicans don't have one damn canidate that I would trust as far as I could throw my truck.  I hope you keep your job.  It looks like the Republicans won't let you have unemployment.  Good Luck. :thumbsup:

  It's too bad, I couldn't get you to bet on trying to get Obama indited for trying to buy off the guy trying to run for senate.   :biggrin: :drool1: :drool2:

You remind me of a universal truth I learned when I was in my twenties. This is it:

You can have it cheap.
You can have it fast.
You can have it good.

But you can only have two of the three.
