Non-Job-Creation Tax?
Along with the Buffett rule, I think we need a Non-Job-Creation Tax. In order to encourage job-creating investments, we raise taxes on non-job-creating ones. This would go for corporations and individuals doing business in the United States, not just based here.

How could the Republicans possibly object?

The problem with the Republicans' "don't tax the job creators" argument is that the wealthy aren't necessarily creating jobs in America. Republicans just expect us to believe them when they say the wealthy are creating jobs. I don't believe them. The so-called job creators are not doing their job creating jobs. That's clear.

So what can we do to dis-incentivize non-job-creating wealth in order to incentivize the job creating kind? And I'm talking about American jobs.
