No Tax Breaks for Companies that Won't Hire Arizona Workers

We need a scorecard for every company doing business in Arizona. Let's start with four columns. Column 1: the tax breaks they've gotten. Column 2: the new jobs they've created in Arizona. Column 3: all the defense contracts they're working on. Column 4: all the jobs they've outsourced to foreign countries. If a company's column 2 is zero, then we take back everything in column 1. If column 4 is greater than zero, then we take away everything in column 3.

I love tax breaks, but prove you deserve them if they're supposed to create jobs. I love loyalty, too. If your company gets American defense contracts financed by our tax dollars, then nowhere in any of your businesses are you allowed to have a policy that prohibits hiring American workers.
