The Obama Administration has underperformed even my low expectations for them in the area of job creation. They have added more Federal government workers (a net drain on the economy) and at the same time the US has lost over 4 million jobs since that man took office.

There is a simple solution to the job problems in the country. The Federal government can declare that any manufacturing facility that is built (or started in the carcass of a defunct factory) in the US employing 75 or 100 people or more (the exact number is not important) at an hourly wage of $20 per hour or more would be EXEMPT FROM ALL CORPORATE TAXES for the first 5-7 years of profit (that is, all profit derived from that facility). The Treasury would not lose money because none of these facilities exists now so ipso facto the government is not making money from them at present. The Treasury would GAIN money in the form of personal income taxes from 100 people who are employed. It would GAIN payroll taxes. Furthermore, 100 families in a community need to spend their money on groceries, restaurants, home repair, haircuts, HOUSES, and everything else, which means other businesses thrive and people in the service industry would get jobs.

Business leaders have said time and again that America is "almost competitive enough" to locate new manufacturing facilities and asked for incentives to start new plants, so the incentive would force them to put their money where their mouth is. Most importantly, America would be MAKING THINGS. These are things we can export for profit to address our trade deficit.

The government could even make the tax breaks renewable if the facility keeps adding 25 new net jobs every 2 years or so. The break in taxes pays for the workers, the workers pay personal taxes and the government revenue is offset by more taxes from the workers.

Is there some reason why no one suggests these sorts of things?
