no they are acting for their economic interests. US companies could care less about the prosperity of the US. They care about their own personal prosperity. And yes they do do this.
Apple: has resource facilities in china instead of here
Trump: Trump water, Trump magazine, Trump wine, all these things are not designed to be sold to the public. They are designed to be sold to his businesses ( a hotel consumes gallons of mineral water I imagine and your magazine just has to have some content) so that he gets the profit not anyone else. (i.e. production inputs like natural resources being inside the country)
other companies do it too. Companies will always look to thier own profits first. Theoretically it is up to the govt to make it look out for the country first.
That doesn't answer the question of your economic theory you say should make companies want to manufacture here again. Why aren't they doing it if you say it's in their best interests to do so?
