Businesses won’t do it on their own, they need an actual reason to move all of their labor needs to America without straying away from their goal of making money. The only way I could foresee this happening is if the US government decides to tax corporations (all businesses really) competitively with the other countries. > > As Upstate said, it is a global economy and countries are competing against each other for these corporations, but the US seems to continue to think “we’re the US of fucking A, these companies will stick by us no matter how much we sodomize them with taxes.” The US needs to get its head out of its ass and realize the same things that their citizens and these companies realize, and that is if there are no real benefits for the company to be here to do all of it’s operations, then they will continue to do so in other countries. If you think taxes are the only thing thats what’s keeping these companies away, I suggest you look deeper into the issue. Other countries have high taxes as well, work force is a huge aspect of it, along with lack of regulation, safety, pollution, ease of bribes etc. Upstate: we can get manufacturing jobs back, Kia/Hyundai build plants here, BMW build a plant for their X3, NY is building tech manufacturing such as Global Foundries in Malta etc. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/occupy-wallstreet/260647)._
