Japanese laws have made it so that if you want to sell in Japan you have to make it in Japan. Imports to Japan is grossely taxed. America used to have the whole "Buy American" and Made in the USA addage and many American business laws pushed domestic manufacturing with domestic purchase.

The huge string of Republican policies have fragmented and shattered the protections the American Consumer and American Worker had.

Obama has been saying he will bring jobsd back to America by taxing companies heavily that relie on outsourcing. I totally agree with Obama on this.

If a Company wants to sell in America they make the shit in America. Period.
If A Company wants to keep Outsourcing thats great but there products and services will be marginalised on Import.
