The only problem is that most sanctions impact the middle and lower classes but not the rich and powerful who are the decision makers.

In fairness, that's the point. They're meant to make life difficult for common citizens in order to incite rebellion against the ruling establishment and, hopefully for the imposer of those sanctions, result in destabilization or collapse of the national government, which can always be exploited to install a "friendly" regime.
Never mind that sanctions are economic warfare and usually do cause real and widespread death and destruction in the target state which can far exceed that caused by an armed conflict.

The American made car industry is doing fine and growing -- ask Kentucky, Texas, Tennessee, Ohio, Indiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and South Carolina.

Not entirely true.
A lot of those jobs moved to more business friendly locals.
Car parts and car manufacturing are big business in Kentucky and Tennessee.
Yes, many cars have PART of the chain outside the US - mostly Mexico. But to say it is dying would be inaccurate. Just shrinking a bit.
