[QUOTE="Nelson Atwell, post: 568278, member: 59102"] France is part of the European Union. By definition, that means their market is open and free. EU countries have open borders to migration and trade, just as our US States have. That means any European company can sell vehicles in France. Additionally, Opel, owned by GM, is very successful there. Ford is also a big seller in France. Finally, Fiat is an Italian company, not French. The US used to restrict imported cars. The Japanese simply built US plants to bypass the restrictions. A free market economy is what made America sucessful. Many of the social welfare programs enacted in the last half of the 20th Century are now biting us in the butt. They made our economy inefficient, and saddled the Government with a huge debt. It also created a huge welfare class of people who will not work for a living, because they would rather stay home, have a bunch of babies and live off of the Government. :( [/QUOTE]
