I agree with you that we shouldn't force companies to stay here, but the feds can make it a lot more attractive by (this is a highly condensed version of Harpseal's points):
a) lowering our internal taxes
b) raising our tariffs to either equal that revenue offset, or makeup up for foreign government's socialism.

Its not fair asking the American worker, with all his tax and various costs of living, to compete with someone whose government supplies a lot more and doesn't have the same cost of living.

Using government to artificially raise the price of goods isn't going to help us, it's going to lower are living standards.
