The IMF says giving money to the rich actually hurts the economy; giving money to the poorest helps the most. As I may have said here before, "trickle down" is the wrong scatological metaphor. The right one is "Money is like manure: If you spread it around, it makes things grow. If you pile it up in one place, it just stinks."
