Strongly agree
Yes, and drastically increase taxes and import tariffs on outsourcing businesses
This answer aligns with Obama's stance on both offering incentives for companies to keep jobs in the U.S. and discouraging outsourcing. However, the term 'drastically' may be a bit stronger than what Obama has proposed, so the score is not a full 5.

Agree
Yes
Barack Obama has shown support for tax incentives to keep jobs in the U.S. For example, in his 2012 State of the Union address, he proposed a tax credit for companies that bring jobs back to America. However, his score is not a full 5 because he also advocated for a balanced approach that includes other measures, not just tax breaks.
