Alert the media: Self-interest is neither good nor bad. It is simply a human trait. The entrepreneur acts in his own self-interest by producing goods and services that other people want, which he hopes will increase his own wealth and well-being.

As a natural offshoot of this process, he also creates jobs. But it’s important to understand that creating jobs is not his main objective. Creating jobs is a result of his pursuit of profits. If the objective were solely to create jobs, no one would ever start a business.

Good luck trying to explain this reality to the income-inequality hysteria crowd.
