How Germany Builds Twice as Many Cars as the U.S. (pays workers twice amount)

Try getting an oil change over there. Oh, and you can't do it yourself either. Big no-no. I'm sorry, just another of many reasons I have no desire to model our country after the European model.

German workers have a lower and simpler quality of life even if they make more because of the massive taxes they have to pay and gas prices that are three times ours. Many don't even own a car but rely on public transportation because operating a car is so expensive.

Sorry but the hole in T.D.s logic that you fell for is the simple fact that in a highly socialized yet industrially advanced economy such as in Germany, higher taxes provide an abundance of free services not enjoyed by the poor in this country. I would much rather be poor in Germany than here.

I am not saying that I agree with the idea of having less control over how your own money is spent; just that there is a huge difference in the quality of life of a poor person in the US versus a poor person in a socialist European country.

Truth Detector is simply wrong about this as he is wrong about so much else as well.

Truth Detector, you idiot; did it ever occur to you that being a European I may have spent much more time in Europe than you, you ignorant moronic piece of shit?
Seriously, choke on a piece of red meat and die, for the good of all mankind.
 


the average auto worker in Germany made $67.14 per hour in salary in benefits;

the average one in the U.S. made $33.77 per hour.

Pretty slick to ignore the US auto workers benefits in the calculation...which would being the figure to well over $70

Counting commercial vehicles and cars
Germany made 2,867,121 vehicles
while the
US produced 5,665,485
in the first 6 months of 2013

2012....
Germany - 5,649,269 in 2012
USA--------10,328,884

I don't often agree 100% with Truth Detector but I agree 100% with this post. Much of my family has lived in Germany and it isn't cheap. They have their share of poor folks as well plus this is spot-on:

FYI; I was born there and lived most my youth up until age 21 there. Half my family is there as my momis German. I love Germany and Europe; but I know better than want to be like them.

You're a moron of epic proportions shit-for-brains. But then, I a not announcing anything anyone with half a brain can't recognize reading the crap you type.

As for knowing about Germany and Europeans; I was born there dumbass. The fact that you might be European explains why you're such a low information moron.

America produces twice the number of cars Germany produces; that's fact. American auto factory workers have twice the quality of life of Europeans; that's fact.

Many European makes are beginning to be produced in the US; that's fact.

If being European is so great, do us all a favor and deport your dumb ass back to your homeland. Lord knows we have enough low information Liberal dunces voting here as it is.

Moron.

Show me information that says America produces twice the number of vehicles America does. FACTS aren't just saying what you want. Post a link moron.

I assume by making this post you have proof to back it up............

Otherwise, you are just another bias ignorant fraud.
 
Those figures in Wiki cover all types of vehicles whereas the Forbes' article was specifically referring to cars.
????....so American companies are worse off because they make more light trucks?.....as I recall, they are the most profitable lines of American manufacturers......

Nice job avoiding addressing any of my points, but you did manage to squeak in 10 insults in one paragraph and NO SUPPORTED FACTS WHATSOEVER. Do you understand even the meanest basics of debate retard? Insults gain you zero points, excessive insults detract from your credibility.

You have proven you are good at issuing perjoratives, but good for little else.
