We need US companies to hire US workers. I believe if mass communication could be accessed to the public about which US corporations have closed US plants and now operate mostly on foreign soil it would send a strong message via the buying power of the economy. With that inforamtion would need to come information on US companies that have continued to struggle in the economy to keep their companies open, instead of succumbing to the solution of moving overseas to keep profits in line. We need less buying options from China and more from the US!

The problem with this is the fact that absolutely everything you use comes from somewhere else, mostly China. That iphone you love, is manufactured in China. The computer I use to keep in touch with the happenings on Wall Street, is made in China by an American company. If I boycott I will be naked and without communication or technology.

no such thing as a US corporation anymore. You would be boycotting everyone. Regulation is needed
