  1. We’ve got 50 years of evidence that tax cuts don’t create jobs.

    Poor and middle class consume goods and create demand. They literally are the job creators. If the 900 or so billionaires in the US disappeared today, we would barely notice.

  2. They create massive profits by accepting criminally low wages. DUH!

  3. A lot of tech start ups in the 70’s and 80’s were created by people who would be considered poor. It isn’t that poor people don’t create jobs. They just tend not to stay poor after creating jobs.

    Jobs are not a form of charity. People are hired to increase profit. More workers (jobs) produce more products & services which results in more revenue.

  4. Let me rephrase that. “I’ve never met a poor person. Why would I want to?”
