It's like saying: you didn't earn that PhD, since we all pay tuition that fund the school, we all earned it for you.
it seems it's cool these days to never give the "rich" any credit. When hey leave, and take many of the jobs with them, will we still be parroting this nonsense that they don't create jobs?

That it's the entire economic system that enables job creation, and the wealthy are only one component. And given his attitude in the original essay [1], he doesn't deny them their credit, he just thinks "Job Creators" is a loftier title than they deserve.
