Tax cuts stimulate the economy to grow because people have more money in their pockets to purchase more goods and services or pay down their debt freeing more money to grow the economy.
Rich people take their "excess money" and invest it businesses that create more jobs.
So targeted tax cuts do in fact create jobs.
