Hahaha... yeah... right. I live in a place where you either have more money than god, or you're like me atm. There is no real middle class. No way in hell the uber rich here would ever let anybody, but themselves, get money back from the government.
Also, what would happen, businesses would start to charge more for the necessities of life. The sad fact is that increasing money availability only leads to higher prices due to artificial inflation (read that greed) because people are always out to find some way to screw people over. So, let's say by some amazing miracle the bottom 10% gets their sales tax back, that's ~6% here. They go to the store and discover that the item previously costing $1.00 now costs $1.06:P Before you start laughing too hard... around here during the "stimulation" by the government, prices rose about 10-20%. Remember... do unto others as they would do unto you, only do it first:)
