| 31. wealthy keep their money in investments, i.e. corporations |
|
They dont go spend all their money. Any tax savings they get most likely goes into investments in Real Estate, Wall Street stocks, govt bonds, banks. I dont see how that money goes into the economy to help with jobs. Giving money to the middle class and the poor would help the economy much more because more of that money would be spent at stores, small businesses, etc.
So basically, do you want money funneled to Wall Street investments or do you want money funneled to stores and small businesses.
