Should tax breaks be given ONLY to those who use the tax break money to create more jobs?

Tax breaks don't create jobs. The idea that they do comes from a grossly incorrect interpretation of something called the Laffer curve. However, your basic premise is sound--as well as the fact that rich people are more likely (when receiving extra money) to buy fancy electronics and all kinds of other things made overseas, while poor people spend more of their money on food, rent, and local services produced in the US, which of course benefits the US economy more than buying stuff made overseas.

More disposable income would create more demand. More wealth creates more capital through investment. The poor by definition have very little disposable income which does little to stimulate the economy.

Taxing the poor more or less has almost no effect on the economy. The middle class are the true demand drivers of an economy. The wealthy create the capital that meets that demand.

Wealth is highly mobile, make it difficult to keep and it will go elsewhere. Then we have even less jobs. There are three kinds of poor, The people just starting out in life who have little experience and make less money, the people that are scamming the system looking for a free ride and people that are disabled or down on their luck.

Redistributing wealth to those that are not the last group of poor only sucks capital creation out of the system and encourages poor decision making by the others. These poor decisions will only create a constant drag that will be felt for generations to come. Also with trade deficits as they are, much of the money would go to foreign counties.

Wealthy investment can also go overseas. The only way to keep our dollars in this country is to encourage companies to stay in this country. Keep the jobs here and the disposable income circulating in this country.

It would not be wise to drive more investment elsewhere with bad tax policies.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
