Actually these tax breaks and subsidies are enabling manufacturing(all, not just cars) to even exist in the states. Taiwanese labor costs about 1/2 of American and Chinese is a 1/4 of that. I've spent a fair amount of time with them and we are just not competitive with labor costs and thats not likely to change so we have to keep subsidizing manufacturing to keep jobs.
If states did not offer this to any company they would likely build in another country and again we all loose.
So I say to GM, Ford and Chrysler(even though I can't stand Chrysler), move your plants to RTW states where you get better deals on taxes and labor. It's funny the state that you helped build is holding you back with taxes and rudimentary labor laws.
