Actually, "the Rich" Don't "Create Jobs," We Do

You hear it again and again, variation after variation on a core message: if you tax rich people it kills jobs.

You hear about "job-killing tax hikes," or that "taxing the rich hurts jobs," "taxes kill jobs," "taxes take money out of the economy, "if you tax the rich they won't be able to provide jobs." ... on and on it goes.

So do we really depend on "the rich" to "create" jobs?

Or do jobs get created when they fill a need?
