“The only way you can make such an extraordinary statement is if you believe in the premise that money I earn is not mine.”
It’s how economists view it. I was a bit taken aback when I first head it too, but it makes perfect sense. You can get as trolled by it as you want, but tax cuts are within the definition of a stimulus package.
It’s the difference between adding a positive and subtracting a negative (i.e. there is no difference). The government takes on a deficit of X dollars and you gain X dollars, either by not giving it up in taxes as you usual would or by absorbing it as a stimulus.
The money you earn is your’s, and the money you use to pay for services with your taxes is not your’s. It is not “mine,” and I never claimed that it was.
