When people (who aren’t already filthy rich, anyway) get money, they spend it, strengthening the economy as a whole and benefiting everyone but the filthy rich.

No... when people spend it that money just goes right back to the top. None of it passes through our hands. I don't get paid more when the company I work for does better. Products don't get cheaper when costs go down. They continue to squeeze us for everything they can. So when only one group can afford these now increased prices everyone else gets fucked. Yeah, rich people are the problem but picking and choosing who gets handouts is not the solution.
