Oh my I'm afraid your understanding of economics is very poor. Infrastructure funding can only come from tax money. Tax money can only come from the private sector. The private sector makes by money by using capital (savings). That is how it works. That is why savings are good and taxes are bad.

If his understanding of economics is poor, yours is even worse. All he saying is you get a better multiplier by giving it to people who will spend the money first on goods and services then on people who will put it directly into savings. And he's right, which should be obvious.

[derrickpetzold]

That is not true. That is redistribution wealth. You are taking the money away from the people are are making and giving to the people that are spending it. That makes no sense. Savings is what drives the economy. Without savings there would be no capital. omg.

Please tell me where this multiplier comes from? If money was multiplied through taxes the USSR would still be around and booming as they had an effective tax rate of 100%. So do tell please.
