Hi Michael,
Was wondering if there were specific tax plans that specifically tied tax breaks to job creation. I'm aware counties, cities, etc. will promise tax breaks or even subsidies to attract business, and that this can amount to a tax break for "job creation." But I'm wondering about a policy that says, "For ever job you make, you get this amount off your tax responsibility."
Thanks,
Brian
