"Another part of this to wonder about is, why are some foreign brand automobiles made in the USA, and a lot of our brands like Ford, GM and Chrysler are assembled out of the country?"
Only Ford and GM are American, Chrysler is now a product of Italy. Besides all the other reasons mentioned (like wages, no EPA or OSHA, ect.) there is the tax structure. Over there they don't pay capital gains or inventory taxes and darn little income tax. America is now the most heavily taxed and regulated "free" country in the world. The question isn't why do companies go overseas but why any company would even consider doing any manufacturing here.
