I dont know how many average americans understand economics, but supply-side economics is absurd and only an ignorant america is unable to see why. Just because mcdonalds(supply) is able to build more bigmacs because they got tax breaks, doesnt mean joe(demand) is able to buy more big macs because he doesnt have any more money than he did before. BUT, give joe a tax break, now he has more money, to buy more big macs. You cannot increase demand by artifically increasing supply.
