Also, please keep in mind that sometimes in order to make more money you need to employ more people. Whether it be a web designer, tax accountant, or even the UPS man.

Wouldn't it be more effective to give a tax break to consumers? Everyone would benefit. Consumers would spend their extra income at businesses and businesses would have more money from the increased spending. They could then use that money to grow their business, buy crap or put under their matress.
