I'm admittedly dumb about economics, but would it be a good idea to base US tax rates not on how much money someone makes, but on the number of Americans a person employs?
For example, three small business people each make $250,000 a year. Person A employs only himself and pays a basic 30% tax rate. Person B employs himself and 20 others and pays a basic 30% tax rate less a 5% discount. Person C employs himself and 50 others and pays the basic 30% tax rate less a 7% discount. Obviously I made these numbers up but hopefully it conveys the general idea.
An employee doesn't count towards the discount unless they have an American social security number, and this would be true for small business or large corporations. Therefore, companies who employ illegal immigrants, Chinese, Indians, etc, do not receive the tax discounts.
Feel free to pick this apart. Like I said I am not an economics professor and just wanted to float the idea for general discussion.
