How is the money you claim they're hoarding not put back into the economy? Where do you think it is?
These ignorant people show they have no understanding of wealth or the accumulation of. They will celebrate making decent people pay for being responsible.

No, they're not. One person earned the money they spent. That's fine. The other spent money they didn't earn. Instead, it was taken from other people by force and threat of imprisonment. The latter mentality is selfish and morally repugnant.

The federal government generates wealth through tax dollars and now, you don't want them to put any of it back into the economy? Talk about tearing out infrastructure ...

So, used by the bank as capital reserve on which to lend money out to others in the form of mortgages, business loans, auto loans, etc. Directly put right back into the economy, unlike what you claimed.
