And this is why states should be able to seize assets of profit-turning companies who decide to relocate overseas. The extra profit through wages in China is going to be small, but every bit of margin for stock holders is welcome it seems. These companies have no morals.

States and or governments should not be able to "seize" anything. Companies are around to make money, if it’s cheaper to go to China or Mexico than it is well within their right to do so. It is the failed policies of the administration which allows it to be cheaper to import goods. Any and all imports should be taxed according to current US wages to now include medical costs since the Democrats want "free healthcare" to be mandatory for everyone. So essentially take the cost of a vehicle made in the US based on labor and materials per car/good and apply a tax accordingly per item imported based on that amount regardless of where it comes from. For companies with no US presence take the average of all imports from domestically owned companies and apply that tax to any 3rd party imports. 

 

Bottom line is the government needs to fix the laws in order to make it profitable to operate in the US. Mandating healthcare and other social programs will only force more companies to move overseas or across a border to another country that is cheaper. The last thing I want or anyone needs is the government being able to seize assets because they don’t like what you are doing. It’s bad enough police seem to think its ok to seize assets of people committing a crime and re-use those seized items for personal gain.

It's already proven that universal healthcare will lower costs compared to Medicate, the AHCA and the ACA due to it being a simpler and more effective system. I don't condone just seizing everything if you're concerned, only in the when large companies have clearly violated an agreement with the state or broke tax evasion laws when moving out. I'm certainly against seizing assets from citizens except maybe under very specific circumstances (which I can't even think of now). And of course, implementing correct import taxes can help. Competition can be good, so these don't need to be too heavy, but they need to be heavy enough to level the playing field somewhat.
