Poor people don't create jobs. Giving money away to poor people so they spend it 'to create jobs' makes the money worth less, makes the people less willing to work, and it still doesn't create jobs.


You don't understand economics.

Demand for products creates jobs. If more people have more disposable income to buy products, demand for those products increase, and thus the demand for employees to create those products increases.
