re: Tax Cuts - The Lunch Analogy

quote:

---

The CEO orders surf and turf, the supervisors order rib eyes, the associates get burgers, and the remaining four eat a large serving of complimentary bread and split an appetizer amongst themselves.

The CEO's entree represents the majority of the bill and the appetizer is only a fraction. The $10 discount goes into the CEOs pocket and that amount never trickles down into the pockets of anyone else because the CEO decided he wants some bread pudding after all.

However the bread pudding is served to him on the house. The $10 stays tucked away in his coat pocket. It will come in handy months later when he needs to tip the Russian girl he invited to his hotel while vacationing in Europe.
