I'm not for banning free trade by throwing up trade barriers, but I'm all for eviscerating the tax code to remove the loopholes commonly abused by corporations to avoid paying any taxes.
I'm also for offering massive tax breaks for any company that maintains all of its operations in this country. Throw them tax breaks for hiring American workers working at American job sites. Don't use negative reinforcement--Saintess already showed what very bad things can happen if you threaten the corporations.
Instead, offer them incentives to do all of their business at home. While food and weapons are of strategic importance, so are microprocessors. A lot of the world's silicon comes from TSMC, though almost all of Intel's fabs are located in the US. However, there's something neat about the US--we've got lots of flat empty space. Fabs and other factories are huge and take up lots of horizontal area (unlike office buildings).
