Its been proven, that lower taxes at the consumer level, grow the economy. The big reason things are "tough all over" is that big gigantic corporations have manipulated everything from the size of a candy bar, to the funding of donations to politicians. There needs to be a simplified tax code that prevents the manipulation. Until this happens, Big Corp Thugs inc. will always manipulate things.
The fed has continued to cut interest rates, hoping to increase the economy, you and I get a mortgage for less, little lower interest on a purchase, but the big boys then over inflate costs to increase the profit, thus nullifying the impact on the economy. All the while, they gain massive advantage of the reduced rates, since they are exponentially massive at that level.
Sort of like the "would you rather have $1 million, or get a penny a day, doubled for a month"
