In stimulus package language, if Congress taxes to hand out money, one person is stimulated at the expense of another, who pays the tax, who is unstimulated.
Millions of people who would be put back to work will spend whatever money they have that's left over. Would you rather that people live in tent cities for the rest of their lives?
How much can rich people really spend? Do you honestly think they need more 'stimulation'? As it is, Bill Gates laid off people and that's with the tax cuts. How many rich people are going to buy a new computer? If people were put back to work, they'd be buying a helluva lot more computers than the very rich....because there are a lot more people without the money right now, but put back to work, my guess would be that there would be millions more computers sold.
Here's a list of 469 US billionaires (I didn't count the ones from the UK, or at the end, from Venezuela). So, maybe each person listed buys a computer to update, that's 469 computers sold. Let's say that only half of the people newly employed buy computers, that's still at least a million and a half computers sold. I'm using computer sales as a good example of what 'stimulus' going to the right people means.
