I have never said that public spending should not be cut. You and rory breeze in with assumptions that are as lazy as your assertions. There are numerous, almost infinite other ways to reduce public spending and raise more money. This government chose a very specific method which will hit those on lower incomes hardest, whilst at the same time blaming them for their own situation. All the while, their corporate backers are looking at bumper profits and slashed tax bills. These 'wealth creators' as you like to coin, aren't motivated by employing people. If you gave the chance to make £10 more by sacking 10 people, they wouldn't even blink.
Small business often employ other people. Suddenly the 2 million appears ridiculous.

Loads of other methods to cut spending and raise money... Odd you didn't mention any of them...

Businesses are not motivated by employing people. You're thinking of the Civil Service and other massively bloated industries that the state has owned in the past. But they do require people to be employed to, y'know, function.

Always better idea... just none that happen to work in reality. Socialism in a nutshell.
