I don't see any guarantee here that splitting a business will create jobs.

1) Business A has 1B in profits with X number of employees, gets taxed.

2) Business B splits into 10 businesses with 100M in profits and X/10 number of employees per business unit, and doesn't get taxes.

Sounds like Business B is going to need 9 new buildings. Are they built already?
A single building can support multiple mailboxes. Hey, a single mailbox can even support multiple stickers!
Why would they need new buildings? If all their operations fit into their current buildings today, they'd all still fit tomorrow as well.
