Agree. If you send jobs overseas, your assets in the United States should be taken over and your workers given control of them.

Agree. If you send jobs overseas, your assets in the United States should be taken over and your workers given control of them.

What if the jobs were already overseas? What if a US company acquires a Chinese company that already manufacturers a product in China?

I don't think it would need apply, in that case. But if you're going to layoff people here and move production elsewhere, you should pay the price for it.

But if you want to move production from a foreign country to the United States, it's fine because it benefits us? Do you believe that everything we consume should be produced within our borders?

The answer for your first question is 'obviously.' But foreign investment should be strictly controlled and confined to certain economic sectors, so as not to disrupt the development of the American economy. I don't think that necessarily everything we consume should be produced here, but the vast majority of it should. Foreign companies should have to produce a certain percentage of the products they sell on our markets here in the United States.
