Carrot and stick

Jobs.  In my last post, I talked about taxing wealthy corporations for outsourcing jobs.  I talked about, or at least hinted at, my annoyance about wealthy corporations and people getting tax breaks.  They need to pay their taxes. 

That was talking about the proverbial stick.  Let's talk Carrots.  (Not Carrot the cute kitty here, but rewards.)

Wouldn't it be a good idea to provide tax breaks for companies, large and small, according to how many people who live in the United States that they hire?  And if that turned out to be the ONLY way to get a tax break for a company?

I foresee a big stick to make politicians consider that one.  Any suggestions on that?
