That is what the old Henry Ford knew and why he was successful.
Current policies are just ridiculous to me.

business has no particular interest in creating jobs, but it does have an interest in meeting demand.

There was a time when companies like AT&T, RCA, and Exxon had a lot of spare cash and set up research centers performing real science that "accidentally" came up with marketable discoveries. People were hired, laboratories built, and some markets were developed with the new inventions, but now spare cash is hated by the "investors" who control Wall Street and must be used to make money now or the managers will be forced out.

As always, the problems can be traced back to an investor class who produce nothing bu paper profits for themselves.

What with the media and Repubs acting like the 1% are "job creators", and rarely being challenged on it.

I'm amazed that you have to point it out (and you do). The repiggies put out the most outlandish garbage to support all their ideas -- I use the term broadly, they in fact do not have any ideas.
