As regards the stimulus story above, it does illustrate the reason why a stimulus, or a tax cut, or any other financial benefit given to the non-wealthy has more benefit to the economy. Give that same $100 to Thurston Howell and it doesn't circulate.

As wealth increases the likelihood that a stimulus is pocketed rather than spent is documented HERE This is why there is an income cut off when stimulating the economy is the goal.
