Fortune 500 are all sitting on record amounts cash right now, they apparently see no place to invest it profitably.

The thinking behind trying to pump up demand is that if people are buying more, the Fortune 500 will put that money to work selling things.

Traditional supply-side economics is basically "shove money into those companies however possible".. but they're already sitting on piles of cash and doing nothing with it. How does more of that help?

Are you trying to tell me that the money isn't trickling down to the underpaid employees working for those companies? LIES.
