Economics 101

Say you have a million bucks.

You give it to one person, making him a millionaire.
He buys a hamburger a day and one car a year and socks the rest of it away.

Or you give 1,000 guys $1,000 each.
Now you have 1,000 hamburgers a day being bought, and a 1,000 cars a year being bought.

You tell me. What makes for a better overall economy?
