Trump and Republicans in Congress are moving quickly to pass massive tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations, with a vote in the Senate later this week. It would be one of the biggest trickle-down disasters in our nation's history. Tell your Senators that you oppose tax cuts for the rich and tax increases on everyone else: (202) 224-3121.

supply-side economics
Theory that focuses on influencing the supply of labour and goods, using tax cuts and benefit cuts as incentives to work and produce goods. It was expounded by the U.S. economist Arthur Laffer (b. 1940) and implemented by Pres. Ronald Reagan in the 1980s. Supporters point to the economic growth of the 1980s as proof of its efficacy; detractors point to the massive federal deficits and speculation that accompanied that growth.
