The end result is that there has to be a reason to keep a job in the US at a higher pay than an overseas job. And just to be "keeping jobs in the US" isn't a good reason, in my humble opinion.

While you have a point, the unions exist for a reason. Read up on your labor history about the industrialists of the 1800's.
The problem with jobs moving out of the USA is that they are often moving to a labor pool that has NO rights and barely gets subsitence wages. If you want a "race to the bottom", where every one is equalized, the the USA will quickly become a third world country where workers won't have basic coverage like healthcare and won't get living wages.
We're partially there now. Read "Nickel & Dimed" to get a glimpse of the future that you're creating if you support jobs going to the lowest worldwide bidder with no consideration of environment, quality of life, health care, or civil rights.
