Actually the "correct" answers have been proven to be biased and incorrect.
And to answer your over simplistic questions:
If you gave me $1 mil dollars I would create a job only if I started a business with it, obviously. However, I would probably go out and buy a bunch of stuff and when lots of people do that (that means people need a disposable income) somebody has to produce/ship/stock/sale/etc. said products.
But if you're so wonderful and progressive and all that, why don't you use that cool million to employ people yourself. Provided you were stupid enough to give that much money away why the hell would you give it away to just one person when you can spread the wealth? Aren't you the ones who are always saying if you give money to the people on the bottom they'd spend on stuff and create jobs? This would be a perfect opportunity to prove yourself right.
If you are so economically challenged that you can't see there are myriad reasons for the current financial problems then there's no point in explaining them to you. You're simply too stupid to understand.
You seem to think "the rich" all own big multinational corporations and just sit around at their desks not hiring anyone because they want to keep their tax breaks. The fact is the people that do most of the hiring in this country are small businesses and there's so much chaos right now they don't know whether they can afford to hire people.
Oh, and one of the reasons businesses go overseas is because of how much it costs to employ UNION members. Eventually legacy costs and benefits packages makes production costs exceed profits. There's a reason GM now stands for Government Motors.
Were it me, I would've said "I don't know" too. I've got work to do and don't have time to debate left wing lunatics, especially since you aren't really interested in having a conversation. You just want to spew talking points. Besides, my rhetoric might be so incendiary that one of the people sitting in the lobby might suddenly turn into a psycho and start shooting up the place. Given that they're already forced to watch FOX, arguing with an idiot might just send them over the edge.
Besides, I'm only an imaginary receptionist since this only happened in your mind.
