1. I think there's less to it than meets the eye

Look at this part:

2. Creation of a broad range of tax and other policy incentives to promote the assembly and manufacture of products in the United States, and to encourage U.S. investment in capital equipment and jobs;

'a broad range of tax and other policy incentives'. Why is it always the carrot and never the stick? Why doesn't Congress 'encourage US investment' by saying 'we're going to tax any offshore profits at double the rate of domestic profits, and paper transactions aren't going to save you'?

Why do the owners always get offered the carrots, while workers get beaten with the stick?
