In terms of money being put into the economy or just GDP? Wouldn't a good economy mean a thriving middle class to stimulate it rather than the rich hoarding all the money they can?

It used to be like that. Give money to the middle and lower class and have the wealth trickle up to the wealthy.

The money still comes from the middle and lower class but now it's just through giving our tax money directly to them. No need to build pesky businesses and have to deal with that headache. How gauche !
