I may be getting a tax break,but is my employer?What good will an extra 13 dollars do me if I am layed off?


Perhaps if you and 250 million of your countrymen fritter that $13 per week away, that becomes a lot of money put back into the economy. Maybe you blow it all on one night out with the guys drinking a few beers. The bartender, the waitress, and the restaurant owner all get some of that money.
That in turn allows them to fritter it away on stuff they want to do.
See how that can help our economy .

Essentially, that is trickle-up economics.
You have more money so you drink more beer (as to thousands, no millions of us)
Because we drink so much, a shortage occurs, and Budweiser decides to open up a new brewery.
Construction workers make good wages building it, and go out and buy stuff with their money,
People are hired to work in the brewery and they make good money (actually, I knew people working in Schlitz brewery and they made waay more than good money)
They spend it on ... well you get the idea.

On the other hand, "Voodoo" or trickle-down economics which so many on here seem to favor, is the notion that somehow, if you give the owners of Budweiser a tax break, they will just go out and build that brewery just because they have more money to spend than they know what to do with.

That thought pattern (or IMHO lack of thought pattern) is not logical.

Okay! Good insight into the left's mindset. They're trying to pizz up a rope.

Trickle down taxes less giving the tax payer more of their own money. Allowing a tax payer to hold on to more of what he earned and spend it in a rational way -- how subversive!
Definitely a trickle would occur under your scenario.

Let's see, the Rich will always be rich but let's say they buy a yacht, so we had some workers build that. And then they'll need a slip or pier built, then a place to get gas and supplies. The yacht will require maintenance, and the the owner wants the new super duper radar equipment and HD TV on board. Of course some like to cruise to places so they'll expand their capital on other areas and tell those along the way, the Shoals is kinda cool, some knuckle heads there but still but maybe kinda cool. Then they'll come and play Robert Trent Jones and since they are tired of sleeping on their yacht they'll stay at the Marriott and drink and eat at 360.

Then they'll tell their friends of the good food and great courses at Robert Trent Jones.

Nah, that would never happen. Roll Eyes
More likely, those who kept more of their taxes will either invest in stock which will allow the corporation to grow -- hiring more employees and purchase capital equipment. Or, is a small business owner, do the same.

With the left, its always yachts and luxury items. Appropriate for mindsets with no idea how business works or capital formed.
