That's what creates jobs. The Great Depression was all about over supply and not enough cash in hands of middle and lower classes. Consumers drive job numbers because their income goes into market quickly. Dollars paid to rich share holders or to retirement investors don't get spent quickly, but stay invested. Simple, yes. Also correct.
