*noun*; a subdivision of economics that focuses on addressing recessions by stimulating supply, rather than demand. During a recession, supply siders recommend cutting taxes rather than increasing government spending.
"Supply side" is in contrast to traditional practitioners of Keynesianism, "demand siders" who believe the main fiscal policy tool for recessions should be increased government spending.
Both supply siders and demand siders believe the government is responsible for formulating effective fiscal policy during recessions.
The most famous advocate of supply side economics was Arthur Laffer.
When Ronald Reagan ...promised to cut taxes ...he claimed tax revenue would go up, not down... as the economy boomed in response to lower rates. Since then, supply side economics ... has become a central tenet of Republican political and economic thinking in the country.

A tax system that does not induce business reinvestment to expand the labor force creating cash flow and a larger taxable base thereby lessening available public investment dollars in municipal, state or Federal Government infrastructure.
As higher taxable income earners are able to keep more of their money in their banks or offshore and not reinvesting in their own nation which would expand cash flow and the taxable base, less money is available for municipalities, states and the Federal Government to fill potholes, repair schools and hospitals, fund environmental clean-up, hire more teachers and nurses, improve our electric grid and other infrastructure.
