First, let me say that I am a big proponent of the fair tax and also have first hand experience with unions stiffling innovation. However, I don't think either UAW or US tax policy had anything to do with the decision to locate this plant in Brazil. First, Brazil assesses a significant tax (~60%) on goods manufactured outside of their country. Avoiding these duties/tariffs is the real driver for locating the plant there.
