Q. What kind of jobs will the rich create if the rest of us can't afford to buy anything? |
|
A. None. The middle class doing well and being able to purchase goods, use new services, etc. is what creates new jobs.
The rich won't "create jobs" when the vast majority of us are barely holding on financially.
It's a dumbass notion and I don't know why the Democrats can't ridicule it in a more spectacular fashion.

1. The corporations don't care. They do most of their business overseas. |
|
Have you ever gone on vacation to countries like Haiti or Jamaica?
Ever notice how most of the jobs seem to involve either servicing or selling things to tourists?
That's what America is going to become.
You'd better buy a house near a cruise ship terminal, tourist attraction, or airport.
And learn how to carve trinkets out of wood.

2. Investment jobs. If they can make a lot of money, they can always get |
|
international investors to put $$ in their funds.
They dot WANT a middle class! They want another Golden Age where there were only rich and poor!

3. Any jobs that are created are service & product jobs that cater |
|
specifically to the very rich. Art galleries, boutique organic produce, yacht builders, auction houses, butlers, pilates studios, life coaches & so on.

7. i'd call it upper working class but what ever |
|
not many if any civilizations in history has ever blossomed when the 'middle class' 'middle and upper end working class' has done poorly
with exceptions of slave based economies which..considering the work being done IS an economy in which working class isn't doing too well
working, upper working and middle class creates jobs, even the 'inventor' of 'trickle down' has admitted it's nonworking male bovine fertilizer
