I understand that you're not gonna get shoe factories to open back up and sweat shops and excrement. But the more attractive you make jobs in America, the more jobs they will offer. I'm pretty sure there's some kind of straight forward economic concept and graft to support that theory .
I'm not talking about tax breaks specifically for the rich or anything. But rather straight forward incentives for companies. For example huge tax write offs for training a new employee, maybe even tax deductions for hiring new people as well. I'm not gonna pretend to know the answer but you can find a way to make everyone happy
Here's the funny thing, those things already exist. It's called corporation tax, and if you take on a new employee or buy a new piece of machinery or open up a new offices all of those things are deductible against corporate tax. The bleating about how high corporate taxes kill employment is absolute horseshit, because high corporate taxes actually encourage greater employment. Low corporate tax discourages investment and encourages profiteering.
What would be interesting if it were achievable would be a tiered tax system that allows corporations to claim higher tiers of relief based upon demonstrable proportions of investment i.e. if you can show that your company invested in a certain amount of increased domestic employment, staff training etc, you can claim a discount off your corporate tax rate, thus rewarding your investment of a proportion of gross profit by allowing the company to keep a greater proportion of the net.
I should caveat this by saying that my knowledge of the finer nuances of corporate tax is far from comprehensive, and it may exist to some degree already.
