You seem to believe that investments in companies is the only way to create jobs? Who would buy those wares that the startup creates, also those in the money? If you created a startup company from your hard earned money, would you rather invest into a market that sells to those without money or those with loads of them?
Who is the most likely to have the money to buy something new?
How about redistributing money to the poorer in order to increase their buying power and thus create a bigger marked to sell stuff to? In that case your hard earned money could be investing into a much safer and broader market.
I believe you would find, if you looked through statistics of yesteryear, that with greater equality comes a bigger market.
As you say, a market is a complex beast.
