Not sure that the whole ideal of job creators really holds up in the light of day. Or rather job creators as 'elites' with enormous amounts of capitalism and economies of scale dont drive jobs growth.
I guess its a matter of scale... A single WalMart certainly employs less people and provides lower salaries than the 20 small businesses it replaces...
If by elite we are including the typical small business owners then yeah they are job creators...
If by elite we are talking the investor class executive class then not in aggreememt

- ktRolster 11y agoIt's complex because there are job creators, and there are bankers and investors who create value in the country, and generally make the world a better place. At the same time, there are also corrupt thieves wearing corporate clothes, who destroy companies and sell them off in pieces; there are bankers who lie and cheat and buy laws to make them money; there are senators who use insider information on the stock market, or connections in other ways to make money. So how to keep the good while getting rid of the bad? That is the central question.
