Keeping it in context of the OP, which publicly traded large companies with multimillion dollar executive salaries make their consumer products in the US?
I can wait, it's gonna be a short list.
Now if you're referring to multinationals that offshore everything to take advantage of lower labor costs, energy, and favorable laws as shitbags, I'm very much with you.
But if you think the reason why they don't produce in the US is because the company is spending too much on executive comp, you'd be very naive. Executives there keep their jobs at the leisure of the board, who are tasked to deliver "shareholder value"... i.e. profits, at any cost.
Wanna fix it? Wake up. We've let Wall Street Banksters lull us into a false sense of peace with our pissant 5% returns on 401k's and index funds, while they use that capital as collateral to increase their wealth 20-fold.
Start by doing what we're doing in politics. Grassroots effort. Educate yourself and be your own advocate. Buy shares or demand them as part of your compensation. Vote down executive comp packages at the annual meeting. Get referendums on the slate to be voted on, penalizing the executives for offshoring or pursuing woke shit. Name and shame them.
If you're a big dog, take up a short position and tell them why. Become an activist investor.
