There is an economics formula known as "The Multiplier Effect". The multiplier effect refers to the fact that an increase in consumer spending produces a multiplied increase in the level of economic spending (economic activity).

Multiplier = 1/(1 - MPC) x Change in Spending.

(1 - MPC) is the percentage of a tax cut that a person would save.

Let's say middle and lower class save 10% of a tax cut and spend the rest (they probably save even less). Rich people save almost all of their tax cut because their income is far greater than their expenses. Let's say the save 80% of their tax cut (probably save even more). Now give a 50 billion tax cut to each group.

Multiplier effect for middle class and lower class (people who really need the money)

Multiplier = 1/10% x 50 billion = 500 billion dollars increase in real GDP economic activity.

Multiplier effect for Goerge Bush's and the Republicans top wealthiest 1%

Multiplier = 1/80% x 50 billion = 62.5 billion dollars increase in real GDP economic activity.

For some reason in the last two elections Democrats have allowed Republicans to spin this issue and cast Democrats as anti-tax cut when in fact Democrats offered the most effective tax cut for economic stimulus that would get the country out of recessions much quicker. We need better messengers.
