Who creates jobs in America? Business owners or consumers?

Who "creates jobs" in America, business owners or consumers? I ask because the GOP is always referring to rich people and business owners as "job creators". To me that sounds silly. For instance, when people decide that they want to go out to eat in a restaurtant, or to buy a certain product in a store, the business will have to hire somebody to stock those items on the shelves, or cook the meal, or run the cash register. If enough consumers do the same thing, then the business will have to hire even more people, but they don't just up and hire new employees unless there's somebody trying to buy their products.


Still, the GOP keeps telling us that giving tax cuts to rich people and businesses creates jobs. How? If you give a tax cut to a business owner, do they hire more people even if they don't have any work for them? Isn't it actually the consumers, with money in their pockets who create demand for products and thus CREATE JOBS?

Reply:Yes. Both consumers and business owners are necessary to generate jobs. You definitely need consumers to buy the products, or else the business won't make any money, but you also need the business owners to invest their own capital to get the businesses off the ground. You need both sides of the equation in order for the economy to work.


As I understand it, there are a couple of reasons that Republicans want to give tax cuts to the rich. One is that (so the theory goes) individuals will waste less of their own money than the government, and so will make better use of it. Governments are only useful to do things that the free market would not, and everything else should be left to free enterprise. Since the rich pay the majority of the taxes, any reduction in taxes will disproportionately benefit them.


Another reason that Republicans believe taxes should be cut is based on the principle of fairness; if you made the money, you should be allowed to keep it.


That being said, the Republican argument does not address the benefits individual business owners receive from the government. Without government, business owners would not be able to operate, and would not be secure in their businesses. And since business owners benefit from government programs (everything from police services to small business loans) it is only fair that they contribute to the funding of these services.
Reply:Both ideas are correct. It is hard to make money without a demand for the product or service you are selling. Business that gets it listen to the needs of the consumer. The business that makes and shows you what you need like air space and Mobil phones they figured out a way to charge you for something that used to be free and they make major bucks.
Reply:No businessman is going to turn away customers or get them angry due to lack of employees.


Or maybe not.


I think we have all seen the level of customer service go down the tubes and businessmen try to see how few people they can employ before they lose business.


Its always amazed me that they hire the cheapest people they can, ask them to do several job categories (service, sales and security, all at once) and treat them like disposable digits and then wonder where all the good ones have gone.


It seems the rich and the businessman want the same thing to have us just give them our money without doing what needs to be done to earn it.


If businessman won't hire someone to make his business more efficient, then he is hardly deserving of my taxes increasing to pay his salary.


If a business outsources its good paying jobs to someplace where fifty cents a day is a fortune to save money, then those people wont buy their product, and neither will the unemployed people he leaves behind in the states, in the long run such thinking only is good for the short term bottom line. And that's already what American businesses look at to the exclusion of anything else.


Businesses create product, consumers create the demand that fuels the need for people to be hired to expand.
Reply:It takes money to start a business. Often it takes businesses years to become profitable. Guess where that money comes from.
Reply:jobs are created by a demand for them in the market, so consumers and business both because the business' have to convince consumers that they need what the business is making, and then the consumers have to buy them
Reply:Since you say we don't need business, you won't mind when they all move overseas.
