The Wealthy Don't Create Jobs, You say?

Nobody said the wealthy didn't create jobs.

What they said was that not taxing them doesn't create MORE jobs.

Then it is a good thing we tax them.

Markets create jobs.

The wealthy just have the most resources to take advantage of them.

You're acting like companies don't cut staff all the damned time in order to maximize profits, whether the price of workers changes or not.

Trickle down is a scam dude. It's a scam that's been proven as such over and over and over again. Employers will maintain exactly whatever staff they need to meet demand. In the case you mention they'll just raise prices to maintain profits.

I mean, what did the unemployment rate do when they cut the corporate tax rate almost in half and made foreign raised profits tax exempt? It hardly budged. Where'd all that extra cash go if not into new workers? Dividends and stock buybacks.
