Some may support Keynesian ideas, which favor the idea of spending government money to create jobs and eliminating taxes on the lower and middle class to create demand. Supply-side economics (also known as trickle-down economics) tend to have the opposite expectation in ideas; this form of economics favors lower taxes for businesses in order to create revenue to put back into businesses. Also, supply-side economics supports the idea of saving government money by limiting its spending. Lastly, there are classical economic ideas which support ideas such as free trade and limiting the government’s involvement in problems with economics.
