Five percent would hang on to it or add it to their trusts. So fine, do it for three years in a row. There's a trillian dollars poured back into the economy. If the idea is to boost the economy by spending, there's no argument. If the idea is a sneaky way to continue polarizing the economic classes in this country, then there is nothing but a lot of stuttering in order.
Percentages are a sleight of tongue.
And remember, we're not talking fairness. We're talking about money put back into the economy so that it can buy tv sets and items that boost the economy. It always gets back to that, the very bones of taxation. Hey, I am NOT into class warfare. I'd like to see every citizen making over 300,000 a year get a free copy of the newest Pokemon movie along with five new DVD players.
