Buy a Honda, many of the parts are US, the factory that puts it together pays US workers (who pay US income taxes), and the sales profit is taxed in the US. A chunk of the corporate profits are then taxed by Japan. So, you could calculate it, maybe 60% US, 20% Japan and 20% other.

I wouldn't say 'many'. The Si for example is 45% Japanese (engine/tranny), 55% US(everything else).
