"Do you know of any person not in the 1% who has approached creating 500K jobs?"

The guy you have in mind, back when he wasn't in the 1%.

<<<< 500K jobs>>>>>
Yup way to go Jeff. But never kid yourself, there has been bunches of jobs lost as the new paradigm does not come at no cost. It is a shift in jobs.

Not really. Demand created those jobs. Without demand, it is sort of pointless to hire people.

As Adam Smith himself noted, wealth concentrations distorts the free markets.

It is no accident that as wealth concentrates in fewer and fewer hands, wages have stagnated and then fell. Which is the whole reason Trump got elected. More of the same is not going to fix their problems.
