Corporations are not going to hire until consumer demand outstrips their ability to produce with their existing workforce - simple as that. Whether we like it or not, they are not incorporated to produce jobs, but to produce goods and services and make money from selling said goods and services (which requires jobs to fulfill). They would not be fulfilling their fiduciary responsibilities if they were to go out and hire, willy-nilly, out of some altruistic motivation to decrease unemployment. It just doesn't work that way.
As for corporate taxes, the US is among the highest among the countries we compete with. What's driving the train now is economic uncertainty - nothing more, nothing less. There are no silver bullets for this economic mess were in, I'm afraid.
