Consumers - Even Poor Ones - Give Us Jobs

Republicans protect the wealthy with arguments like "rich people give us jobs". To this I say, it is consumers who give us jobs, even poor consumers. Rich people would have no jobs to give, were it not for consumers buying their merchandise, using their services, borrowing their money, or renting their property. Without those consumers, including the poor, they would not be rich people. They need to keep that in mind. They are not rich because they are extraordinarily smart or extraordinarily hard-working. They are rich because their communities support them, by purchasing their goods, paying for their services, borrowing their money and renting their property.
