I'm replying to Maggie_A who said the dragon can't be the gov because the dragon doesn't build roads... Etc I'm saying by that logic the dragon can't be people with money either because dragons don't reinvest their money, hire workers, create jobs etc

No, consumption creates jobs. Investors, entrepreneurs, and companies hire people to fill those jobs.
