"But not the money to pay for these jobs."
We, the society, make the money. We could decide today that this is financed, either through printing, or through taxing. No theoretical problem.
Practically, those with the most resources have decided that they don't think we should take of those resources to support those with the least resources. But there's nothing inevitable about that. Historically, elite that are too powerful and too uncaring about the masses, end up on the guillotine/firing line/bottom of a pit.
