It was supposedly an "incentive" to spur the stalled economy. The average person was urged to spend and keep buying stocks (this was in October 2001). Since that time corporations continue to lay people off and NOT hire them as this site on SI shows: Subject 50782 I was co-owner once of an SF business and even did payroll. If someone quits, dies, moves away or divorces, it doesn't really matter. No one is really indispensable. In fact, companies today are finding it's cheaper to hire temporary or part time help so they don't have to pay benefits.
