There is going to always be some company to game the system somehow. Look at Microsoft & their H1-B visa dependency.
That said, I think tax-breaks for increasing number of employees is a good idea.
Also, an investor can qualify for an EB-5 visa & green card by investing a $500k to $1m in "saving" 10 jobs.
- cwan 17y agoForgive my ignorance, but can you explain how Microsoft games the system with H1-B's? re: tax breaks for increasing the number of employees, here's a fairly balanced posting on the subject: http://business.theatlantic.com/2009/10/would_a_payroll_tax_holiday_create_jobs.php http://business.theatlantic.com/2009/10/would_a_payroll_tax_... - of course on a more fundamental level, payroll taxes always has struck me as odd considering essentially it's a tax on companies for hiring folks. For me, a permanent reduction would be a far greater incentive to hire people because at least for me, I hope that I am hiring someone for more than a year or two which is when presumably the tax breaks would expire.
