The tax cuts were an incentive of sorts; getting rich from a new business venture can be a powerful motivator.

Although a tax hike does seem in order to rein in the deficit, as far as jobs go, a more effective change might be to the rules of operation of public companies. I have no idea how this could actually be changed, but as I understand it, if a public company's balance sheets do not match analysts' projections, their stock tends to go down, which causes panic all around, which often forces them to lay people off even if they are making large profits. Privately held companies are somewhat more stable that way, I understand.
