> What jobs do you think it creates?

Whatever jobs are needed to fulfil the spending of billions of dollars. You can't drop that kind of amount of new demand on the existing system without some expansion.

> You really want all our labor pandering to billionaires?

It already is (not all but there's a big impact and political influence), without benefits. Just spending money for products and services would be an improvement.

> Why would anyone give attention to middle class if the billionaires were forced to spend all their money?

Why (for example) Tesla producing both budget 3 and taking millionaires money for Roadster? Because addressing both markets works.

> How expensive would your life get if the billionaire class redirected all of their wealth toward frivolous consumption.

Probably cheaper for higher quality goods and same otherwise. But also nobody is talking about all of their wealth - that's unrealistic. Some more vs hoarding in assets would be still good.
