If by “we” in the original post it means top 1%, then yes. The top 1% should most definitely spend “their” money. I think history shows if they don’t spend it then it will be taken away via “revolution”. The problem is that the top 1% don’t like to spend money unless it makes them more money (investing) so that leaves a big hole as far as stimulation. If the government would allow me to withdraw my 401K money tax/penalty free or even a 15% capital gains tax I would be more than happy to buy individual stocks that are now paying dividends that I personally think will do well in the future. But alas the pen touch’th not the paper in Congress.
