True by buying goods and services from others they create a market and so make more jobs. But that's exactly my point. The laws of economics (the word economics actually means "laws of the household") favor the wealthy and systematically discriminate against the poor. The job of the state is to enforce and protect this exploitative economic system. I mean money is like a God. With money you can get almost anything.
