The original shareholders created the company. Without them there wouldn't be jobs.

The newer shareholders provided liquidity to the original shareholders. Their benefit to society was helping to incentivize the people who created the company (and all the jobs) by making them rich.

What do you mean exactly? Literally every job that exists in the private sector is created by a company, and companies are created by shareholders.
