Should Americans offshore CEO's & top exec's, and revoke corporate charters for businesses that offshore labor?

This is America, the people are supposed to have the power. Why not do this? Is there any doubt that new more responsible businesses won't come into existance to fill the voids created, if action is taken and a strong message is sent that America demands an end to these failed economic policy's carried out by each president we have had since Reagan (Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Bush... all guilty), and a return of a strong middle class, and power in the hands of the people? Invis - The East India Tea Company didn't do anything illegal either when they received special corporate tax breaks/ exemption from the British government... But that didn't stop the Boston Tea Party. And to answer your question. I don't care what they do. If we revoke their corporate charters in the US, the people who had that business are free to move to China to see if the Chinese gov't will allow them to set up new operations/businesses. When the time comes that they try to screw that country, and offshore labor there, I doubt they will be so welcomed by the Chinese people or their govt, as the support they receive here from our govt, and the "misled" among us.

1. They havent done anything illegal so you want to punish companies for doing nothing wrong? Large corporations could easily move entirely overseas is that what you want?
2. Not until they fix the unfair trade practices and false currency exchanges that these large importing countries use. Even Italy gives full tax rebates to exporter of equipment to cover their embedded taxes when they ship machines to the US. Then people wonder why US equipment is more expensive. You cannot import the raw materials from India or China for less than you can bring in the finished products.
3. No, we just need to bring back tarrifs on all goods not made in America. Its that simple really. You can't tout having the "largest middle class" "the best economy" "more spendable income per capita" in the world and then turn around and expect domestic manufacturers to compete with companies that are doing it 3rd world nations.
4. They already do – I lived in a USD 10,000/month apartment with one in Singapore for a couple of years. No suffering involved whatsoever. Really, it was actually pretty nice.
