What I said is how things really work, how wealth is created. It's by creative inventive enterprise, and the creation of wealth benefits the entire society. Trickle down isn't something Reagan invented, it's just another word for this process which brings prosperity to all levels of society. You say it fails. It can't fail. It's just one of the terms to describe how capitalism makes wealth for society in general.
I gave only one scenario for how wealth is created and it does involve the creation of jobs. Even if wealth is inherited society is benefited because it doesn't just sit in someone's bank account, it is always being spent which circulates it. If it is used for projects then it does create jobs. I was answering just one claim, that the rich get rich by depriving the poor. That is ridiculous. There are certainly people who got rich by some form of fraud but even that isn't stealing from the poor.
