The chart above showing the relationship between the Koch brothers' net worth and the number of people they employ. And so we see that the net wealth of the Koch brothers has grown, but that wealth has not trickled down in the form of job creation at their company. In fact, the Koch brothers have been JOB DELETERS in favor of padding their bank accounts. I bet if I found the data it would show salaries of their remaining employees have also been reduced. The ExxonMobil chart above also shows the lack of correlation between rising income and "job creation". How long will you GOP/conservative/libertarian suckers keep arguing that the rich should be left alone because they are "job creators"?

How many new jobs has Rush Limbaugh created since the Bush tax cuts? I only ask because he's a huge proponent of the richer=more jobs argument.
He has created more then you I would say. He now has a tea line. So there are how many ever that employs. Then there is the delivery drivers for the postal service. I would bet he employs at least 100 people.
How many?
You only quoted part of what I said. Do you think you have created more jobs?
I didn't benefit from the millionaire tax cut.
The millionaires may have got their taxes cut. But so did everyone else. And they still pay a higher percentage despite what the douche bag who calls himself president says.
May? There's no question about it.
Do you question that you got your taxes cut? Do you care that there are millions of deadbeats collecting government goodies that are perfectly capable of working?
Let's say my taxes got cut by $1000. At $33,000,000 Limbaugh's taxes got cut by around $1,650,000.
Why didn't the Kochs or Exxon create more jobs as their profits rose by billions?
Because they wanted to keep the money they earned I guess. Maybe they don't need anymore help. It is not mine or anyone else's job to make sure that X person has a job. It is an individual responsibility to get your own job.
Oh no, you used the "R" word (responsibility) you need to wash out your keyboard with soap!!!!!

The rich should be responsible for selling an economic system that failed. Just like automobile companies are responsible for recalls for a failure, the rich and corporations are RESPONSIBLE for the economic failure of the American low tax and free trade system that has not created more jobs and has not increased incomes over the last 30 years.
