Tax cuts on the middle class, create jobs, because they have more money to spend.And quite technically speaking, jobs DO create jobs. More jobs means more people have income to spend and this increase in demand creates more jobs.
The problem with wingnut is he can't think dynamically. I guess he figures if the rich person doesn't run out there with his tax rebate and use it to directly hire someone, the money just becomes inconsequential. Like maybe the rich person uses it to get fires started in the fireplace or to line their bird cage. Maybe they just like to stack all their money under the mattress and sleep on it? Anything but actually spending it on stuff.... which would create jobs.
Tax cuts on the rich, do not create jobs, until there is a demand for investment. Otherwise, they sit on that cash waiting for an opportunity.
At that point, if the private sector won't invest in the economy, then it is up to the government to step in, do what they are Constitutionally required to do and provide for the "general welfare" of the country, by putting money back into the system in the form of infrastructure projects, which puts the middle class back to work, which they, in turn, start spending their paychecks, which reduces warehouse stockpiles, which then creates demand for more products, which then spurs the private sector back into investment and production.
At that point, the government can back off and reduce the debt from additional tax revenues.
