Surely at some point, you'll come to a rather strange predicament for a company, where they have the option of hiring a talented foreigner or a less talented American, but choose to hire the latter purely because of more tax breaks thus opting for lower productivity but more profits. I can't remember the exact figures, but Bill Clinton had an article in Newsweek and one of its stats was that quite a lot of Americans are actually working for foreigners in the US. If you try and protect that 1 job for the American now, you could potentially be losing jobs for many more Americans in the future.

Taxes on corporations and the wealthy are obviously too damn low when you have UE at 9% yet corporate profits at an all time high and the top 1% are wealthier than they have ever been. The wealth has been redistributed out of the now nearly non existent middle class' hands to the wealthy and to corporations without a subsequent increase in hiring or increase in wages. It must be balanced or there will be hell to pay. Says it all: png upload
