It takes about $1.5 trillion a year to sustain 17 million jobs. There are only two entities that now have this amount of money. Those are large corporations with $1.8 trillion of cash on hand and earning an additional $1.45 trillion a year after taxes, and the top 1% of the income ladder who are earning $1.4 trillion a year after taxes. These entities have to be induced to use much of that here in job-creating enterprises rather than overseas and in derivatives and other non job-creating investments.
Therefore you should propose multi- bracket tax rates for large U.S. corporations and the top 1% of earners; low tax rates if they invest here and higher rates if they do not. Credit would be given to demand side,i.e., wages and hires, as well as to supply side U.S. capital investments.
