The REAL job creators...........

[ABikerSailor]

Their slogan is “ideas worth spreading.” But the folks at TED – the Technology Entertainment and Design nonprofit behind the TED Talks, beloved by geeks and others interested in novel new ideas – evidently think that some ideas are better left unspread. At least when the ideas in question challenge the conventional wisdom that rich enterpreneurs are the number one job creators.



This past March, millionaire tech investor and entrepreneur Nick Hanauer – one of the early backers of Amazon.com – gave a talk at a TED conference in which, among other things, suggested that middle-class consumers, not rich people, are the real job creators – and that because of this rich people should be paying more in taxes. Though the talk drew applause from conference attendees at the time, TED Talk curator Chris Anderson decided it wasn’t worth sharing with the wider world, and refused to post it on TED’s website.

His explanation? The talk was “too political” to be posted during an election year, and that “a lot of business managers and entrepreneurs would feel insulted” by some of Hanauer’s arguments. This seems more than a tad disingenuous, since TED generally doesn’t shy away from controversial ideas, and is sometimes so “political” that it invites actual politicians to talk at its conferences.

He actually makes a lot of sense, because it's not really the venture capitalists who create jobs, it's the demand set up by the middle class for a product that causes someone else to see the need, THEN go to someone for money to start up a business, and the business will succeed if the demand for the product from the general population is sufficient to generate a profit.

So, if you want to know who the real job creators are, it's us as the middle class consumers, not the venture capitalists, because all they do is sit on their money and draw off the interest.

Do you people really think that it's the top 1 percent that actually creates jobs?

 

[ABikerSailor]

If you agree with supply and demand economics and capitalism, you'd KNOW that it's not the uber wealthy that creates jobs, it's actually the middle class with money to spend.

We're a CONSUMER (not corporate) driven economy. The only reason businesses exist is to supply a demand.

Unfortunately.. that's the narrative touted by so many politicians and I continue to be amazed how it goes unchallenged.

The only job you can do is a blow job of the Left. As many times as it has been explained on this site that consumer demand does not create jobs you are still playing that tired old song.
SOme people never learn.

How does consumer demand NOT create jobs ya fucking moron? If a company makes a product that the people like, the demand for that product goes up, resulting in hiring more workers to increase the output to meet the demand.

That is how jobs are REALLY created.

I enjoy it when the economically retarded start economic threads.

Google 'capital formation' and educate yourself on what savings and investment mean to an economy.

Hey stupid.............we're talking about job creation here. And yeah, consumer demand DOES increase job creation.

you are suffering a critical thinking fail.I can scream for ice cream but unless that guy milks the cow, then pays to have to trucked to processing, then packing, then distribution to my mouth. Demand drives demand, simply, the demand is fulfilled by who and how?

 

[ABikerSailor]

If it's not demand for a product that a company makes that creates jobs, what is it then Trajan?

Half of the world 'demands' food, tool.

Yet they starve. 'Demand' is ubiquitous.

Now, if they had PURCHASING POWER, created by WAGES created by their PRODUCTIVITY created by CAPITAL INVESTMENT of those greedy rich bastards, they might get some food.

Keynesian fail.

 

[KissMy]

You must have supply, demand & trade to create jobs. Take away any of those & you are jobless.

the line touted by the corporatist programmers. It goes right along with the mentality that if the market does well so does America.

You're an idiot. I know, that's an ad hominem attack and I really ought to attack your message. But, it's not your message, you're simply a parrot echoing right wing propaganda. So, I iterate once again, you're an idiot (and a known liar).

 

[Darkwind]

Talking point lie #226. The right says that the top 1% create all jobs...


The truth.

Small business creates the bulk of the jobs in the United States. These small businesses get loans for their businesses which provide capital for them to operate. This capital comes from larger corporations and banks that have made good investment choices.

The top 1% are heavily invested in those corporations AND small businesses.

Any thinking liberals here in this thread? Care to make the connections?

Those capitalist pigs!

Yes - Free market capitalism is the best system for employed workers. It is not the best system & must be regulated for wallstreet bankers. It is also not the best system for complex innovation job creators like Bill Gates, Elon Musk, Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerberg & others.
