Small businesses would not really be hit due to the number of jobs that would need to be created. Larger businesses would be encouraged to expand. It's possible that a new facility would not even be necessary, as long as net jobs are created.
It just underlines the point that it would aid big companies moving into the US to put small companies out of business. And give them competitive edge over big, existing companies - like established car companies in the US. That isn't going to be an easy sell to people in the states who would be losing those jobs, nor to people who are getting a healthy amount of lobbying from the companies who would lose out.
I'd guess the same would go for other companies like Bud, Coca Cola, Pepsi etc.
They're not going to be easy to sell on it when they are already producing close to market capacity so don't have new jobs to create unlike companies coming in.
I'd imagine it would leave all sort of legacy problems... but then I'm sure the extra government jobs need to monitor that wouldn't be an problem

Wouldn't that pretty much screw over what existing business there are?

Sure it does. Expand or die is pretty much what it says. Your objections are noted, and ignored.

I'd be fine with corporations not paying taxes if they didn't have so many rights.

Noted and ignored rather than addressed? Punishing past success seems a strange idea though

Wouldn't all the current manufacturing businesses just spin-off mini-factories?

It's Obama's fault because he can't grasp how jobs are created.

Let's not be naive. The President has the power to introduce and direct legislation.

More government hoop-jumping is not a long-term solution to anything.

That wouldn't actually raise that much money, even if they currently paid no taxes.

It's why the personal income tax is the primary source of government revenue.
