Jet planes which are generally made by very well paid workers. Win, win! Yes, they definitely consume things. And other people produce them and get paid for them.
So the money .. stays at the top?
Sorry, I'm not following you here.
Some of the money goes to the upper middle class workers who design and build the jet. I'd expect though that after labor and raw materials, etc, the profit ends up in the pockets of the company itself, which gets spent on other things (e.g. more jet planes, or giant fish tanks).
Tax breaks for high earners does not translate to more money for the poor.
Well, the rich people eat at restaurants, and hire people to clean their houses and offices. And the middle class people spend their money, too. Why not let all those people spend their money the way they want, rather than letting the government skim some off the top and then waste the money in ways that gets politicians reelected?
