All you have to do to keep jobs around here is look at Ireland:

Now the US:

The government didn't have to force anyone to stay, they tempted them to come by lowering taxes. They came and brought plenty of good paying jobs for their people. Is there any surprise that companies are leaving the US?
You lose tax dollars from the corporation, but you get more jobs (specifically good paying jobs). The government has plenty of places they can scale back or lean up on without losing anything vital.
So yeah.. they don't have to force anyone to do anything, just stop trying to squeeze every last dollar you can out of people, and people will WANT to bring jobs here.
Corporations are people my friend. Workers like you are cattle. Tax breaks for the people, and a brand and a stall for you. That's the Republican way. Free lunch for the people - but you aren't a person - corporations are people my friend. They're the people in we the people. And you and the government owe them a free lunch, and they owe you shitting down your throat and buying your government's decisions.
JOHN ROBERTS: From time to time in the years to come, I hope you will be treated unfairly so that you will come to know the value of justice... I wish you bad luck, again, from time to time so that you will be conscious of the role of chance in life and understand that your success is not completely deserved and that the failure of others is not completely deserved either.
