You shouldn't selectively read that article.
Here's a quote from it:
It's funny. The very next sentence after the one you quoted from the article directly contradicts the point you were trying to make with your selective quoting.

So selective quoting includes picking something out that I disagree with and arguing against it?
What he's saying is just not accurate at all. Do you think Donald Trump makes personal investments that better the economy more so than a government investment? Nope, he invests in what's best for him and not the economy so an insane amount of that money finds its way out of the economy
A pretty ridiculous amount of what Trump produces comes from outside of America, is that investing in the US? Nope, that's money leaking out of the economy.
A lot of the money from the wealthy is also invested into things that don't benefit the economy much at all, examples of these being real estate and the stock market. Or they make purchases on imports such as foreign travel, vehicles and other luxury goods that aren't produced at in the US. How do you suppose this money finds it into the hands of the less wealthy?
Just because businesses have more money doesn't mean they're going to stop maximizing profits, they're still going to outsource labor and invest in factories in countries such as China. There's very few new jobs to "earn".
