Who creates jobs, consumers or plutocrats?

Who pays sales taxes, consumers or plutocrats? Who pays payroll taxes on income, consumers or plutocrats? Who pays the largest percentage of their income for taxes and those things necessary just to get by, consumers or plutocrats?

If, after paying payroll taxes on my work income, I have to pay a sales tax when I invest it in an automobile for transportation to that work, isn't that the same double taxation that investors claim a federal tax payable on investment income would represent?

If a consumer has no job or a low paying job and has no money to buy a product or service or health care, what incentive does a plutocrat have to create jobs to produce a service or product or health care service when few can afford them?

Which came first, the chicken or the egg? Which comes first, the supply or the demand? What does a sound and balanced cash flow system have to do with economics? What was my question again?

    Anyone with a brain knows it is consumers.

    The problem is the minority of morons who watch Fox News and are told to believe that tax cuts for the rich creates jobs.

    When the rich pay less there's always an economic collapse. study up on it. just before the great recession tax on the rich was at it's lowest. just before the great recession tax on the rich was at it's lowest. Tax the hell out of the rich! There's a disproportionate amount of wealth in their hands.

    Neither.

    The market creates jobs.

    There are certain things there will always be demand for...like food.

    There are other things that create their own demand, like new products, such as the telephone...which there was no demand for, but let to an entire international industry after it was invented.
