On the contrary, it would be an excellent thing to do. What better way to force companies to behave the way you want them to do?

That's a counterproductive strategy. It would have the effect of damaging the American economy and destroying tens of thousands of high-paying American jobs. It would have the effect of boosting the fortunes of foreign competitors such as Fujitsu and Siemens. Rather than "forcing companies to behave", you have issued a prescription for killing the goose that lays the golden eggs. That is the usual Democrat strategy - it's surprising to see it wholeheartedly embraced by some factions within FR.

If the goose is laying its golden eggs in India...good riddance...I have no doubt that if big business gets the message that US consumers would rather by from companies that don't send their jobs offshore, somehow they will manage to survive.
