Would tax cuts for the poor have been better for the economy, and why? Or do you not agree with having cut taxes then period? I'm not disagreeing with you at all, i'd just like to know what you think about it all. It's my understanding that tax breaks for the rich or the poor accomplish much the same thing but go about it a different way and are used in different situations depending on the problems currently facing the economy. I was always taught the idea is  to create economic growth, and ultimatly that basically means getting capital into the hands of the business owners, by whatever means you choose to do that.

i'd never heard of that pretext.  only ever heard it justified with talk of
the 'obvious' benefits of the greater economic activity which these zones will
allow.  much the same as the justifications given for the massive bush tax
breaks to the wealthy and the corporations.
