Job Makers Forgot One Thing, To Create Jobs

Throughout the political fighting and so-called “war against the rich” one idea has come up again and again: The wealthy are the job makers. Their concept, is that the reason we cannot tax the rich is because they put the money back into the economy and their companies to create jobs. Well taxes haven’t been cut on the rich, and the job market is way below goal. The Department of Labor has actually noted a mere .1% increase in the job market and actually showed an increase of .3% of those in long-term unemployment. The wealthy aren’t the only ones at fault, in fact it shows just how asinine their argument was. The government has not equip themselves to combat this issue. Congress has shown itself to rather block anything President Obama wants, and the President so far has been unable to rebound. Capitalism works because consumers spend. Without consumer spending, the economy cannot come back, but without money to spend(unemployment, low income, lack of benefits) Americans cannot afford to be consumers which means capitalism will fall unless something is done.
