I think it is responsibility of tsikot.com posters to protect the pretty receptionists.
However, to "protect" our auto industry, it also boils down to the policies (tariffs, red tape, corruption, etc.) and other costs of doing business here and is not really all about going after gray market or surplus imports. We have leftist labor groups, high power rates, taxes, red tape, etc. which pretty much also affects the local auto industry (and most industries at that). If we have a favorable business climate then perhaps second hand imports would not have been much of a problem/issue since purchasing power of consumers will be better, forex rates would be favorable, we'll have more exports, and product manufacturing would be cheaper.
The reason why the imports sell is because it offers an attractive price for products that the consumers want.Last edited by vinj; July 5th, 2010 at 05:10 PM.

Exactly!
Why target a single "sector" which will only have a limited effect when other potential targets would have wider ranging benefits?
An overly leftist labor force actually becomes a problem for industry in general. A good example in history is the dock workers in UK. They contributed to the general decline in UK shipping industry a few decades ago until a new technology made them obsolete.

How about the number of companies closed that used to manufacture it's own products in-house? KMU over-reacts and creates a work stoppage.
The business owner realizes it would be cheaper and simpler to farm out and do sub-contracting all the product manufacturing that used to be done in-house. Some products are simply imported from abroad (like china) and end up even cheaper for the business owner.
All workers now end up out of a job.

Ditto. Most of the products that used to be manufactured here now come from other countries in the region (i.e General Electric, Colgate - Palmolive) due to the more favorable climate elsewhere. Maybe we can also outsource Congress to Singapore then have Tom Clancy lead the AFP.

capitalists had to adapt to the hostile labor environment
kaya nagkaroon ng "contractual"
--
many would rather import finished goods than manufacture locally
you need less employees to run an import business
just a few office staff, warehouse people, delivery people
less employees, less headache
