I’ve shown they do.
Moving goal posts to “Small businesses make jobs too” is meaningless, since the entire back and forth was over whether or not the rich create jobs.
They do.
The worldview espousing that the rich do not create jobs is probably false.

They create jobs. They also destroy jobs with monopolistic practices and bribing our government into job offshoring deals. On the whole, I'd say they are a strict negative in terms of jobs.
In terms of technological progress and productivity, they are a solid positive.
You have to balance things out somehow. What good is having all the best technology when a huge percentage of the population is jobless, dead broke, and scrambling for some form of welfare?
