Which tax cuts would have a larger effect on aggregate demand: tax cuts to everyone; to the middleclass only; or to high income earners only? Compare each alternative with no tax cuts but an equivalent increase in government expenditure.

Fact: Middle and low income earners spend almost all their disposable incomes. High income earners save a significant part of their disposable incomes.
