Meanwhile that 1 rich guy, might buy a handful of cars if he happens to like cars a lot... He can have all the money in the world but he wont create the jobs that the 50 thousand people will create if they are spending disposable income.

The basic principle of a strong economy is having lots of people spending money, not just a few..
