some odd reason.
I mean sure on paper it looks like it should work but the real world after the wealthy have the houses and cars they want and they hire the few people that they need to clean and care for the houses and the cars they arent going to be creating anymore new jobs rather they will take the money and make long term investments into things like stocks and bonds.
Why? Because there is no incentive on their part to do anything other than hire a broker to manage their investments so the net gain of new jobs is essentially nil.
