The best thing we can do to help our economy is get more money into the hands of those that are going to spend it the fastest.

Exactly. Money that goes to the government — especially if it is used for payroll — ends up back in the economy much more quickly than if a “rich” person is allowed to hoard it. Poor people spend money in ways that make other people better-off because they buy all the little things that are used in daily life and employ the majority of the population. This spending gets money to others **without any strings or further obligations (interest, etc.) attached.**
Investors use money to get more money (returns on investments), and the goal of every investor is to take money out of someone else’s pocket and put it into their own. This myth (capital is more valuable than labor) was spread by the very people who brought us to where we are today — the top of a credit bubble with a tremendous portion of population carrying debt that they can never hope to repay — and no real assests of their own.
Banks (and the corporations/politicians that feed and enable them) want us to believe that we could not survive without them — and especially that we could not survive without thier “kind and generous” offers of ever-increasing credit. It is a lie meant to enslave the working class by forcing them into ever-rising debt loads that make bankers, etc. very, very wealthy at the expense of the working classes.
Bankrupt, greedy gamblers, all. When capital is more highly valued than labor, IMHO, it is the sign of a collapsing society.

In full disclosure, all of my personal income comes from investing, so what I’m saying is not in my own best interests. However, I can certainly tell the difference between right and wrong / constructive and destructive.
