Saying "rich people create the jobs," in other words, is like saying that "seeds create trees." Seeds do not create trees. Seeds start trees and direct their growth. But what actually grows and sustains trees is the combination of the DNA in the seed with the soil, sunshine, water, atmosphere, nutrients, and other factors in the environment that nurture life. If you think seeds create trees, try planting them in an inhospitable environment. Plant a seed in a desert or on Mars, and the seed won't create anything. It will die. So, next time you hear Mr. Trump say he has "created thousands of jobs," wag your finger at him. Say: "Now, Donald, that's not really true. You helped create thousands of jobs. But your investors, employees, and customers and America's robust economy, infrastructure, and legal system played a far bigger role." Rich people don't create the jobs in America. Our economy creates jobs. We're all in this together. -henry blodget
