People like Trump and Soros never created anything in their lives, except schemes to enrich themselves by cheating others (Trump University, bankruptcy protection against creditors, etc.) Elon Musk at least did some innovating, and provided some visionary leadership. That is certainly worth something... Not billions of dollars, but a decent amount. Jobs are created when demand grows. If there is demand for 10 million jeans, and then the demand increases to 20 million jeans, you need to expand jean manufacturing and hire more workers to produce the additional units. That's why the economy is healthiest when most of the capital created by productive workers stays with them, to be spent on products and services in the real economy (instead of the financial engineering instruments of the wealthy and their offshore bank accounts.)

The Republicans tried to push for vets to be eligible for private care to avoid long waits. The Democrats and Obama wanted no part of it!

If he makes a company that produces something nobody needs, or more to the point something that nobody can afford to buy, he hasn't added anything of value to the world. Bernie Maddoff hired some people. Adolf Hitler hired lots of people. So does the health insurance bureaucracy and the federal government bureaucracy, and the guy who hires illegal immigrants to roof your house. Jobs just for the sake of jobs aren't even a good thing. Then there's the case where some company starts up and hires some people, but they are producing a product that isn't needed (like a different brand of shirts), which results in displacing jobs from other shirt producers. No net benefit, because you haven't done anything to increase demand (this is why "supply side economics" is a fundamentally bad/flawed idea.) Worst case, that new "job creator" like Walmart and now Amazon, hires 10,000 people and displaces 10 million jobs! Massive net negative, at least as long as we keep approaching capitalism the way we do (work as few people as you can as hard as you can and leave the rest unemployed and destitute.) Third case (the most hopeful), a company truly innovates something that is really useful, like the smart phone. The guy who invented the concept of the smartphone provided value to the world, as did the engineers and product designers and app programmers who added features and perfected the concept. And of course, so did all the workers who build the phones. The "founder/owner of the company"? Well, you tell me specifically what he contributed (not counting things he got other people to do for him.) Once you have that info, we can make a value decision about what his contribution was worth. If there are any situations where the contribution of the founder was actually worth a billion dollars, I would be curious to hear about it (and would probably dispute it.) Owners, as in stockholders, typically contribute nothing at all to the company - In fact if the company pays dividends they are leeches constantly draining assets and the financial health of the company away. One of the greatest sad facts about capitalism is that the people who it really rewards aren't the most productive, but rather the most aggressive, greedy, connected and ruthless. "Captains of industry" have a common characteristic of being really good at exploiting other people - In fact it can be convincingly stated that most successful CEOs are on the spectrum of Psychopaths (because they tend not to consider the needs and wants of others, and are happy to step on as many heads as it takes to climb.)

It fed the trucking people who hauled it from the plant to the dealer and fed the people working at the dealership and their families. BUT,... I have to admit, I guess I really don't know how many people it fed. That is the difference between capitalism and welfare mentality. When you buy something, you put money in people's pockets, and give them dignity for their skills. When you give someone something for nothing, you rob them of their dignity and self worth. Capitalism is freely giving your money in exchange for something of value. Socialism is taking your money against your will and shoving something down your throat that you never asked for.

According to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, “Georgia has been rolling out work requirements for food stamp recipients for over a year.” The outlet states that the latest rollout saw the requirements reach 21 counties, affecting roughly 12,000 able-bodied people without children. Those people were given until April 1 to fulfil the aforementioned requirement. But when that date rolled around, The Journal-Constitution, citing state figures, reports that more than half of the food stamp recipients were dropped from the program. “Essentially, the number of recipients spiraled down from 11,779 to 4,528, or a drop of 62 percent,” the outlet states. According to The Journal-Constitution Georgian officials are looking at expanding the food stamp requirements to all 159 counties in the state by 2019. “The greater good is people being employed, being productive, and contributing to the state,” said Bobby Cagle, head of Georgia’s Division of Family and Children Services, according to the outlet.

Greed of course is the motor that drives Capitalism and the "invisible hand". (It relies on people to be greedy and do whatever makes them the most profit, with the belief that when everyone does so things will just work out for the greater good.) Allocating profit from the worker's work to the workers ("To each according to their deeds", aka Socialism) has never been a significant cause of pain and suffering as far as I know.

By Leada Gore Thirteen previously exempted Alabama counties saw an 85 percent drop in food stamp participation after work requirements were put in place on Jan. 1, according to the Alabama Department of Human Resources. The counties - Greene, Hale, Perry, Dallas, Lowndes, Wilcox, Monroe, Conecuh, Clarke, Washington, Choctaw, Sumter and Barbour - had been exempt from a change that limited able-bodied adults without dependents to three months of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits within a three-year time frame unless they were working or participating in an approved training program. During the economic downturn of 2011-2013, several states - including Alabama - waived the SNAP work requirements in response to high unemployment. It was reinstituted for 54 counties on Jan. 1, 2016 and for the remaining 13 on Jan. 1, 2017. As of April 2017, the highest jobless rate among the 13 previously excluded counties was in Wilcox County, which reported a state-high unemployment rate of 11.7 percent, down more than 11 percentage points from the county's jobless rate for the same month of 2011. Ending the exemption has dramatically cut the number of SNAP recipients in the counties. As of Jan. 1, 2017, there were 13,663 able-bodied adults without dependents receiving food stamps statewide. That number dropped to 7,483 by May 1, 2017. Among the 13 counties, there were 5,538 adults ages 18-50 without dependents receiving food stamps as of Jan. 1, 2017. That number dropped to 831 - a decline of about 85 percent - by May 1, 2017. "Based on the trend, the number of (able-bodied adults without dependents) recipients for SNAP benefits is expected to continue to decline statewide and in the formerly 13 exempted counties," according to Alabama DHR spokesperson John Hardy. Statewide, the number of able-bodied adults receiving food stamps has fallen by almost 35,000 people since Jan. 1, 2016. Each recipient receives about $126 a month in benefits. Nationwide, there are about 44 million people receiving SNAP benefits at a cost of about $71 billion. The Trump administration has vowed to cut the food stamp rolls over the next decade, including ensuring that able-bodied adults recipients are working.

Accept no ones definition of my life; define myself. I'm not bullying you into anything. I'm actually making your point for you. I am saying the government needs to help people with your money because if they let you keep it you wouldn't use it to help anybody. It's okay to be selfish as long as you admit it.
