> "job creator" C-suite executives magically "create" jobs and/or raise pay because their budget for taxes goes down and they just don't know where else to put the cash, thus everyone benefits.

The real concept, which is actually true, is business owners and managers and investors have money - whether risking money for a startup, or spending revenue from customers - and that money goes into investing in infrastructure and paying salaries, and paying taxes. Their taxes then pay for the public sector employees' jobs and all other public costs. That hierarchy is why making sure people want spend their time and money in your country, because it pays for everything else.
