Companies do not create jobs. Consumer demand for products and services creates jobs. As long as the tax structure nourishes a strong middle class we will be a prosperous and stable society, and capital will flow just fine.

And how do you do that when they are out of work ?

And I have had to chair a meeting of a worker coop when we had to restructure due to running out of capital in the last dot.com crash so I have some idea what I am talking about.
