The demand might be offshore. Or the demand might be corporations which have profits.

I think the point that you are missing is that corporations conduct extensive research to determine latent demand before initiating new products/services. During their research, they determine what consumers need, what they want, what they can afford, how often they can afford it, the quality they will expect, etc. The underlying demand for (presently) non-existent products or services is called latent demand. This form of demand is what drives the R&D process for new products/services. Dale's comments were correct in asserting the idea that additional capital from lower taxes would help corporations to develop and bring new products/services to market and satisfy latent demand. The method you are advocating is what Michael Savage correctly refers to as "trickle up poverty." The United States has experienced that for nearly three years now under such a plan from Obama. -ng- Think of it this way, if all low-income workers in the United States were suddenly millionaires, what would happen to the rate of inflation?
