Outsourcing jobs and job loss

I am requesting honest answers to solve the problem of American jobs moving out of this country.

I feel the main reasons for these companies to be moving are less taxes, lower salaries, and more lax environmental conditions. I personally feel it is good to offer tax incentives to bring jobs into a community which will hire many employees. We sometimes do get a little carried away with environmental restrictions. We need sound but not unreasonable environmental restrictions. We must also keep in mind that corporate greed causes unions and union greed causes corporations to move to other countries. Surely there is a middle ground that can be taken.

One answer to the companies that move to another country to produce a product that is sold back to this country is to have an additional import tax placed on that company besides the normal import taxes from other nations. This could take away some of the incentives that a company would have for moving to another country.
