That's fairly vague statement for a group of people that thrive on facts. What kind of jobs? Programming jobs? New jobs?
How much would taxes have to rise? 0.0001%? Or is there some room for negotiations? What if the US raised taxes more on companies that offshored jobs?
This seems like basic politicing at its best. Big companies are going to start playing taxes chicken with big government. By making blanket, vague statements like these, they hope to shape the conversation amongst politicians. There's a real conflict of interest when these guys start telling the government what's good for business.
I think it's quite reasonable for businessmen to tell politicain about consequnece of their plans.
The alternaitve is to stay silent and let ineffective ideas strangle business (and impoverish society) and/or act on it, moving their business elsewhere.
