"The rich" got to be "the rich" by investing their excess income in businesses that generate profits and taxes and employ people who pay taxes on the wages they receive from those businesses.
"The rich" create sustainable jobs, i.e., jobs that create value.
Government can only create unsustainable jobs, i.e., jobs that kill private-sector jobs created by the investments of "the rich."

That's quite a broad brush you're painting with. A little too broad, IMHO. It seems like the kind of stereotyping that could cause unnecessary bias against the conservative side of the political spectrum.
There's no need to disparage people based solely on race, which is what the phrase "like Eric Holder's people do" seems to imply. It serves no constructive purpose that I can see.
JMHO...
Here's an interesting book on that thought: The Millionaire Next Door.
All of them? Really?
I think there are a good many rich people who inherited money and invested overseas. That doesn't create a single American job. So let's quit with the fantasy that all we need to do to create jobs is cut taxes, because it just doesn't sell, as is confirmed by the polls. The leverage in decreasing regulations is far greater in terms of both net revenue and GDP.
The principal benefit of cutting corporate taxes does is attracting foreign investment. Without cutting regulations, that won't happen anyway.
Who are his people?
The pain you feel today is the strength you'll have tomorrow.
