Right, but if the company didn't create the job, the income tax collected would be zero.
I'm not saying the income tax collected is purely coming from the company, but take Amazon for example - their economic activity creates jobs which pay salaries that are taxed.
yes, but the employee would've gotten another job else where, so it's _not_ the company that's creating the taxation benefit! They therefore, should not be given the benefit of attributing that taxation (for PR purposes)!
The company did make some investment which led to the job - but they did said investment for their own benefit, not to create more jobs for which taxation can be levied.
that's the employee's contribution, not the company's.
