The very wealthy are not job creators in many cases and have little or no allegiance to the United States. There is a huge difference between barely rich people and wealthy people. Wealthy people are multinational and so are the companies they own. The claw-back provisions on income earned as a US citizen by someone seeking to become an expat should be 1000x more severe than they currently are at the moment.
I'm all for a 'job creator' tax break. There should be a tax incentive to employ more than X number of people at a fair wage for more than one year, excluding family members. Giving narrowly defined tax incentives to job creators has nothing to do with giving tax breaks to wealthy people as a blanket policy.
