No. No it wouldn't. "Rolling taxes back" is one of the least effective, most time consuming methods of stimulating anything. In fact, extending unemployment benefits and increasing other benefits for veterans, seniors, etc. is a much more effective, targeted way of increasing consumer spending and infusing money back into the economy...
