If you gave $600 to low income families its not a refund, its welfare. Of course the 'rich' get the tax refunds because the top 50% earners PAY 97% of the tax!
And Astro, I'm talking income taxes, we have lots of other taxes which can pave the roads quite nicely, lets start with the gas tax.

I'll make my point without stooping to labeling you with a perjorative term.
The claim was that tax cuts would stimulate the economy, provide jobs for US citizens, and pull us out of a recession. Who should receive them is a moot point since the tax cuts have already been approved.
I provided a few paragraphs to illustrate challenges of current policies in regards to their effect on promoting domestic growth and suggested policy changes that would or could have facilitated such growth.
Rather than respond, however, you attempted to incite me into an ideological debate--let's stick with addressing the former issues I have already raised because the latter argument will rapidly degrade (as it appears to have done already judging from your first sentence).
