At first, I was pissed off at the thread title. Now that I see what you meant, I am in total agreement with you.

Maybe I should have been less specific... The multiple stimulus packages that the world's governments pushed made the world's millionaires rich again.

All stimulus packages help the rich more than the poor. The money is created out of nothing and given to corporations. Then by the time the money trickles down to the rest of us over the next few years, inflation has occurred and your money isn't worth as much anymore.

Stimulus plans are not good for the economy. They're just a sneaky way of taxing people. Government and corporations get richer, you get poorer.

And to think, millions of poor people were Begging for a stimulus plan. It's the perfect scam.
