What we need to do is disincentivize plunder. Impose penalties for companies that ship jobs overseas (by penalizing them salary/wages + benefits + 20% of every worker they outsource in that fiscal year, so that not only do they not save on outsourcing, they pay more than they would have otherwise)

What. You're deliberately making the economy less efficient, and hence lowering the world standard of living, just to save American jobs?

I'm not against free trade as such, but we can't just have companies ruining livelihoods in their quest to make a buck either.

Perhaps we could force companies to pay for the retraining of workers they have fired due to outsourcing, to enable them to get a new career?
