So your solution to bring companies back is to raise costs by increasing minimum wage or workers benifits? That seems very contradictory to your earlier statements. You're seriously defending the companies here and not the workers? If companies get state subsidies and decide to pull out, the state can recompense itself. And it can do so because the state has the monopoly on violence. I'm willing to go that far. Companies should have a bit of morals concerning their workers, if not, it should be enforced.

I'm sure you've seen movies or books or whatever with some dystopian future led by companies who employ private armies... yeah, if you're proposing governments take the assets of large international companies by force... maybe that's exactly the kind of future you're asking for. Is that really what you want?

Au contraire. It's to curb the ever growing influence of large companies. They need to know their place and that place is beneath the state, like all of us. It doesn't need to be draconian, but the misuse of our economies must stop. Just continue cutting costs to get them back here is not a valid option.
