Thanks for posting this. I'd read that the TED talk folks didn't post his talk because it was so bad, and seeing it really proves their point.

OP, what is your opinion? It's always a wonder when people take the time to post a video with no commentary about their own opinion.

A rich person isn't necessarily an employer. There has to be a sort of assumption that Rich people somehow should create jobs. The thing is if you want to create jobs everybody including yourself can create a job. When was the last time that you hired two were three plumbers when you really needed only one plumber just to give more people a job and income? When was the last time that you hired a plumber that you train them if they were not competent? You were the employer and they were working for you.

Rich people and those who are affluent create jobs in directly. Their shopping, entertainment, health needs, and other services provide businesses for those in the service sector.

If you want jobs, you should ask employers to create jobs.

i dont think some people grasp the difference between an "employer" in an accounting sense vs an employer in a practical sense.

Like another poster said you didn't add any commentary yourself so not sure wha the point of this video is. Also rich people do create jobs. The vast majority of job creation comes from small businesses probably making 250k to 500k a year so they are not RICH or 1% but at the same time people making 20k a year aren't the job creators either.

When people at Forbes write articles about how bad your TED talk was, there's a problem.

At about 1 minute he accidentally explains why the American yatch industry was destroyed but doesn't understand that it is the rich people buying yatchs that create those jobs, not politicians who use tax policy to "score" votes.

He is rich, he is good at numbers analysis, but he doesn't have the faintest grasp on economics.
