Your analysis always seems to revolve around comparisons that make no sense. The defense industry creates an entire population of men and women whose income is derivative from taxpayer funds. These men and women use these funds to spend on goods and services. The “wealth” created was derived from existing “wealth”, butnthats always the case. From the oil tycoon that creates “wealth” from the work and tool of his staff, and the demand of consumers....to the stock market that creates “wealth” through the demand of a certain stock that is tied to the demand of a product or service which is paid for by using the “wealth” of a consumer.
Take the huge tax cut you recieve and run out and start three businesses in good locations selling goods or providing a service that is in demand. And as you love to point out, those businesses will provide jobs for many, which will spend and add to the “wealth” of the economy. However, if those providing the demand for your goods or services do not have the budget to spend.....the demand will not sustain, and your businesses will close their doors. If those tax cuts were given to those that drive demand, then the demand is sustainable, and those three businesses will open one way or the other. It might not be the richy richys that open them to increase their already substantial “wealth”. It might be members of the working or middle class taking risks to improve their position.
