So give a guy earning $10,000 a month and up a tax cut and he's likely to buy a foreign car, overseas holiday or home overseas. Give a guy under $10,000 a month a tax cut and he spends it in the local shops. Yes I understand a poor man can buy a shirt made in China. Not every time just often enough to see money flow out of the US.

However when the electoral system is based on who can get the most money donated to spend on campaigning, what do you expect?
