Answer 1

B. Tax cuts to the rich and bigger businesses would have a trickle-down effect to others.

Ronald Reagan proposed a tax program, during his campaign, known as suppy-side/trickle-down economics (Reaganomics).

Reagan claimed an undue tax burden, excessive government regulation, and massive social spending programs hampered growth.

The plan provided tax cuts for the wealthy, so, they would invest more money. This new spending would "stimulate the economy" and create new jobs.
