Tied up in a $120m yacht registered and moored in Monaco?
Lot of those boats built over the last 40 years?
Answer the question. Where does it go?
Where does the wealth of the 3 richest people in the US go?
Bezos......16% of Amazon.
Bill Gates......24% of Microsoft (1996)
Warren Buffett......18% of Berkshire (2016)
I asked you that question, dope.
It certainly doesn't into the pockets of everyday Americans who spend it in the economy where it is further circulated.
70% of GDP is related to consumer spending. Not investment. Use your brain.
I asked you that questionYes, you asked the stupid question.

It used to, until a bunch of liberal twats decided a luxury tax on boats was a great idea.
Fucking morons.
70% of GDP is related to consumer spending
100% of GDP is related to domestic production.
Not investment.
Domestic production isn't related to investment?
You must be a liberal.
Use your brain.
You first.
He means 70% of real GDP growth comes from consumer spending. Some put it even higher at 80%. A tax cut on lower class, and middle class income increases consumer spending. A tax cut on the rich has no impact on consumer spending.
That's why Bush's cut of the top federal tax rate from 40% to 35% did not produce any economic growth.

I mean it's an idiotic claim and that he's an idiot.

Ok.
A tax cut on the rich has no impact on consumer spending.
Because rich people don't buy stuff? LOL!
What do they do with their money?
That's why Bush's cut of the top federal tax rate from 40% to 35% did not produce any economic growth.
The final Bush tax cut was signed in May 2003.

Real Gross Domestic Product
I guess there was no real GDP growth after it passed.
Average quarterly real GDP growth during 8 years of Bush: 1.87%
Average quarterly real GDP growth during 8 years of Clinton: 3.62%
The Bush tax cuts FAILED to sustain the growth seen under Clinton or increase. They then FAILED to prevent the decline in economic growth and finally the 2008 recession.
70% to 80% of economic growth does come from consumer spending. The lower Class and Middle Class increase consumer spending when their taxes are cut. The Rich do not increase their consumer spending when taxes are cut.
Warren Buffet does not increase his annual consumption of Big Mac's in any given year based on his tax rate. People in the lower class and middle class do.

Your claim was, "Bush's cut of the top federal tax rate from 40% to 35% did not produce any economic growth"
How many quarters of 7% real growth did we see after Obama hiked the top rate?
The Bush tax cuts FAILED to sustain the growth seen under Clinton or increase.
I'll be the first to admit that Internet Bubbles are COOL!
What was Obama's real GDP growth during his 8 years?
70% to 80% of economic growth does come from consumer spending.
I've noticed your inability to understand what GDP means.
Warren Buffet does not increase his annual consumption of Big Mac's in any given year based on his tax rate.
It's good that the purpose of tax cuts isn't to get him to eat more Big Macs.
