A very easy example of a tax credit that helps stimulate the economy is the federal first time buyers program which helps new home owners get into a house a bit easier.

Again as I mentioned before, it's all a balance act. Extreme tax cuts for just the rich at the expense of everyone else, as the right would love, would do little or nothing to stimulate the economy, simply because they don't have the same spending power as the middle & lower class. Meanwhile when it comes to the middle class it's the largest buying power in this country so any extra money in their hands stimulates the economy.
