I think that unemployed people would spend less, thus decreasing consumption which according to you creates jobs. I saw what happened in Pittsburgh when cheap Japanese steel decimated our steel industry in the 70's and 80's. I also saw Texas Instruments move across the border to reduce labor costs. Plus a business making $250,00.00 a year is not a very big business. It is a small business. My Family Income comes close to that and I'm not a business. I agree to a certain extent of what you say but there has to be a balance. Government, through policies needs to create a business friendly environment. They will never do this with extreme policies based on their ideology.
I have to agree here, tax big business and guess what big business is going to do? Their going to move to where they don't have to pay all that tax and the labor will most likely be at least 80% cheaper.
