Take a look at how rich the richest one percent are.

In 2010, the richest 1% owned 35% of the national wealth.

Hey, I have nothing against the super wealthy.  They make a lot of money, and they pay a lot of taxes as a result.   They also employ a lot of people and create a lot of jobs.  
 

Rich people create very few jobs. In fact, per dollar of income they create much less employment than poor people do.

 

Being the guy siphoning off massive amounts of money from a monstrous corporation doesn't make someone a job creator, and the sooner that meme is abandoned as fantasy the better.
