I'm not sure I understand your sales tax suggestion.
Wouldn't a sales tax increase punish the consumers losing their jobs?
Doesn't the increase in taxation have to come from business revenues in some way as a means to offset the reduction in consumer job income?
update: I may be looking at the problem as too much as a closed system (ie. things are made where they're sold). The implications of relocating production to areas with different taxation rules make an ideal solution very tricky.
