This is why Regans supply-side economics model is a collossal one-sided failure. When rich people get more money, they save it and/or hide it off shore, or they invest it in companies that people aren't buying from. Sitting money does nothing. When you give rich people more money in the form of tax breaks, it gets saved.

Let's say you took TARP and let's say half of funds spent on hostilities and just gave it to everyone who pays fed taxes(maybe 150m people). Lets call it $2T. That works out to roughly $10-15k What would you do with it? Buy groceries? Car parts? Clothes? Pay bills? If a million more people are buying these things, you think another grocery store or car parts store or clothing store would have to pop up, full of employees?
But that doesn't mean that 'Poor People are creating the jobs'. It means that they are a high percentage of the people creating the demand. Someone still has to put up the capital to create the supply for the demand. This is where the job creation comes from. Not the consumer...
