You're jaded and want to address the problem of rural isolated low-access to education children by giving people in big cities more money? You're jaded by the selfish acts of corporations and yet are encouraging trickle-down in an economy and in reference to a problem that is probably uniquely even less apt to respond to trickle down?
Yes, giving money (or cutting taxes) to people who are already wealthy is proven not to work (aka "trickle down economics") because they do not need to spend it locally and tend to only save/invest it overseas to their own benefit.
However it's also been proven that giving money to people of low income (ie. all the callcenter agents in India that Google and other corporations use) will then tend to spend the money immediately as they have little to no savings and need goods/services right away.
This also works for unemployed people in the USA, they tend to spend any funds given to them immediately, locally, which is good for the economy.
Huh.
