The poor and middle class stimulate the economy by spending. Those dollars end up in the hands of the wealthy. Either way it's going one place. The difference is if the wealthy receive it through corporate growth they will hire more employees to sustain that growth. If they receive it through handouts there is no need for additional corporate spending (ie: jobs).
