The fact is, that rich people buying big-ticket items like jets and yachts, houses and buildings etc. do indeed create jobs.... Thousands and thousands of them. Exactly... And the converse being that when new taxes were levied on big ticket items, like yachts, a lot of people LOST THEIR JOBS!

I've started ignoring anything that is sourced to Business Insider, and find that I'm a much happier person.

Hmm, like a lot of economic “experts”, this gasbag doesn’t say a thing about how much value the dollar has lost via inflation, which is an invisible and far more damaging tax.
Tax rates and wages really don’t matter much when the dollar is being devalued faster than people are making it. I’ve been saying that to every “Tax the rich” and “We need a living wage” gasbag I run into. Three guesses what their reply usually is.

Actually, they believe government is the root/route of all prosperity.

So, if rich people do not create the jobs, what does? A healthy economic ecosystem one in which most participants (especially the middle class) have plenty of money to spend.
Economic Ecosystem? ROFL.
And, just how does the middle class attain plenty of money to spend if the "rich" aren't the source of that income stream via jobs created from private business growth? Government checks?
Frikkin' moron.

There are no jobs without wealth creation, regardless of the scale. Inequality is an indicator of economic growth. that’s about it.
