Don what benefit will the real economy gain if the highest tax bracket get's most of the tax cut dollar?? IMHO lower interest rates do affect the economy on a broader range.

As to your other comments, they may be right but my point is that perception is very important.

Well said, Don.

Someone said recently- "If you don't want a tax cut, you are certainly free to give any tax savings back to the government." They will undoubtedly find a way to spend it for you.

Frankly, I'd rather keep mine, and spend it as I see fit.

Regards,

There actually is a federal surplus in one sense - the federal government is taking in more money than it's spending, which historically isn't good for the economy.
