>> Anyone want to take a stab at this question? Most people who "have money" didn't get it by giving it away, which is what it would be doing to hire people you don't need.

Why do the rich need more wealth before they will create more jobs? They don't. They need the confidence to invest what they have in opening or expanding a business. They lose that confidence when things go sour. They regain it when they think things are going to get better. They are not in the "job creation" business. They are in the business of maximizing their profit. People on the payroll are a necessary cost of doing business. The fewer the better. They hire more only when it will be profitable to do so. This is so simple. But impossible for a Leftist to understand.
