The Velocity of Money; a measurement of exchange of money within the economy, Middle and lower classes spend almost 100% of their incomes with little to no savings. It is the spending of money that grows economies. The Wealthy spend very little proportional to their incomes and therefore do not aid in economic expansion nearly as much as the classes do. Not taxing the wealthy enough is a huge problem. This idea of Trickle Down Economics is a joke. It has been trickle up for the past 40 years and we are at a precipice with our underfunded liabilities

Dj55, Personally I would like to see the big corporations *pay their fair share*. They use the same fire departments, highways, airports, police that we average folks do. They should not be immune from paying taxes. I always get suspicious whenever someone parrots the slogan "pay their fair share." So tell me, how are big corporations "immune" from paying taxes? They pay taxes on income just like everyone else. The times when they pay no taxes are the times when they are losing money. Just ask Amazon. Just ask Tesla. Just ask Musk. They're paying MORE than their "fair share" now. Tenchusatsu P.S. - The top 10% of wage earners make 52% of the total adjusted gross income in this nation, yet pay 76% of taxes. Yet the left thinks that's not enough.
