Supply side economics is more popularly known as trickle-down economics. This economic theory basically says that when you reduce taxes, you will be stimulating the economy’s growth. How does this happen? This happens through increased spending of consumers and over the time, will aid the growth of an economy.

An income tax cut given to a corporation or a company may mean more money for this corporation’s employees. Trickle-down economics however does not really happen when applied in certain countries because the money saved from the tax cut can still be routed to other things. But in the purest sense, and if all things work as they should, Supply Side Economics is a reliable model.

Going back to the tax cut, once this tax cut is implemented and companies give their employees a raise –these employees will be buying more from the market. This means demand for certain commodities and products will increase and this in turn will lead to growth in the market and later on will lead to more employment opportunities. 

This theory however is very utopian and there is not much evidence for us to see if it really works. Many economists disagree that trickle-down economics  works at all because there are many factors that can affect the market and it is not only tax cuts that affect it. To isolate its impact is impossible but the results could be very satisfying if done the correct way.
