And look the context is that when a business makes several million dollars off a government deal they know they get more of those government deals if taxes rise.
I can assure that other business owners do care about what taxes they pay. I work in a smaller firm that would hire at least a couple more analysts if tax rates were slashed another 10%. And those people that would have a job if that were to happen, but will never know what they are missing at our firm...do care if that effects them being able to get work.

Decreasing taxes won't increase hiring in almost all circumstances. If you were to attach strings to them, the effectiveness would be the same as if you just created government jobs.
Btw Obama's stimulus created jobs, but a lot less efficiently than expected. Bush's tax cuts... Didn't create a single job.
Please explain to me the rationale about how tax cuts don't create any jobs?
The main premise is that no business is going to hire workers unless they will pay for themselves. Tax cut or not it will not change the bottom line(especially since a taxes are based of profit)
I'll make a distinction between buisness and corporate taxes
For Personal taxes for people with businesses:
They have nothing to do with their business. Most rich people already save a part of their income, and a tax cut will just mean that they will be saving more money. That won't create jobs. Only poor will spend their tax cuts.
For Corporate taxes
I don't think I even need to argue this point, but it's the bottom line. Yes corporations go overseas, but most of them fill in a niche in their own country where they will not be able to keep functioning in another country because the products are usually region specific for most. Labor costs and infrastructure play a lot bigger role in outsourcing anyway(this is why manufacturing got moved to banana republics that had really basic needed infrastructure).
I am sure somebody could argue my point a lot better, I need to go to bed soon.
