Supply-side economics or trickle-down economics is a theory that if taxes were cut on the richest people in society, rich people would use their extra money to invest in the economy, but if taxes were increased, the wealthy would leave the country and invest somewhere else where the tax rates are lower.
People who support supply-side economics believe that taxes punished productivity and if they were lowered, people would produce more goods and services.
Many supporters of supply-side economics also support things such as limited government spending, low inflation, and regulating the economy less.
Economist Arthur Laffer supported supply-side economics with a theory called a Laffer Curve.
The theory stated that government will get no money if taxes were too high—nobody would pay them—and that the government would not get enough money if taxes were too low.
The theory also stated that if taxes were too high, the economy would be less productive and it would give the government less money and that if taxes were low, the economy would be productive and the government would get more money.
Supply-side economics was used while Ronald Reagan was president during the 1980's.
Income taxes on the wealthiest Americans were cut from 70% to 50% to 28% during his two terms.
Also, capital gains taxes were cut.
Supporters of supply-side economics mention that those tax cuts have resulted in economic recovery during the 1980's and the strong economic boom in the 1990's and first decade of the 21st century.
Critics of supply-side economics say that the wealthy gain a lot of money in the hope that a very small amount of it will trickle down to the poor, and they call it voodoo economics.
Many critics say that supply-side economic policies are bad because they result in a bigger gap between the rich and the poor.
They also criticize that the reduction in taxes results in the cutting of programs for the poor people who need it.
Other critics point out that large supply-cuts tax cuts,  in combination with increases in military spending, has resulted in the government being in a large amount of debt.

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), ( (GRC)), is the national police force of Canada.
The force is also called the Mounties.
Unique organization
RCMP is the federal police for all of Canada.
RCMP serves as the police for the three Canadian territories
RCMP serves in all ten Canadian provinces, although its role is limited in Ontario and Quebec as both provinces have their own provincial police services.
RCMP provides police services for more than 190 municipalities
RCMP is the police for 184 native communities -- the First Nations, Inuit and Métis.
RCMP ensures security at three international airports.
The RCMP/GRC wording is protected under the Canadian Trade-marks Act.
The Northwest Mounted Police (NWMP), was founded 1873.
The Mounties were created to establish authority and to make accommodations with the native population in the west before settlers began to arrive.
The smaller Dominion Police was founded in 1868 to protect federal government buildings.
The Mounties were given the right to use the term Royal by King Edward VII in 1904.
Their name was changed to the Royal Northwest Mounted Police (RNWMP).
The word mounted suggests that the police ride horses.
Before 1920, horses were their main method of travel.
However, today the RCMP do not ride horses except at special events.
The RCMP are famous for their uniform.
The "Review Order" (also "Red Serge") uniform is worn mostly at special events, such as parades.
The uniform consists of a red tunic with a large brown belt,(formally known as a “Sam Browne”), a light brown hat, dark blue breeches (trousers) with a yellow stripe and riding boots.
On an ordinary day at work, RCMP officers instead wear a grey shirt, dark blue trousers, ankle boots and a peaked cap (the type worn by most police officers elsewhere).
In the winter they may wear a thicker coat, heavier boots and a fur cap.

"30 Minut" () is a song by t.A.T.u.
that was first released on 200 По Встречной, and released as single in September 2001.
It has an English counterpart named "30 Minutes".
The music video starts out with Yulia Volkova in a stall at the fair, while many other girls start talking.
They leave, and Yulia comes out, washes her hands, and sighs.
She then goes back into the stall.
We then see Lena Katina laughing and then a kid walking by with his parents.
We then see why Lena is laughing: she is with a man.
Yulia is building a time bomb in the stall, while the man puts his hands down her pants, squeezing her butt and her pulling down her pants.
Yulia comes out to see Lena putting her unexposed breasts on the man's chest, and then putting her shirt down.
Yulia then waits for the bomb to go off, and then we see the bomb explode, and we see bits of the carousel flying into the camera.
At the end, bits of the carousel fall to the ground burnt.
A censored version of the video was made without the part with Lena's exposed breast.
Also, there's less time at the end of the explosion.

The main example of a détente was during the Cold War.
In the 1970's, the United States and the Soviet Union improved relations.
Both signed several treaties which made less amount of nuclear weapons each country had.
During this time period, as China began to dislike the Soviet Union, the United States tried to make friends with China, giving the Soviet Union a disadvantage during the Cold War.
This was often called “playing the China card.”
Détente primarily was concerned with relation between USA and USSR but other countries like China, West Germany and most of the European states also played their role in developing it.
Their motives were mixed.
The US proposed this because they did not want to have to go to war with USSR which would lead to all out nuclear warfare.
The literal and original use of the word, meant to undo a crossbow, the detention of the cord that launched the arrow.
Which is why this old word was so appropriate in the above description.
Castoreum is the liquid released from the castor sacs of the beaver.
It is a yellowish liquid.
It is mixed together with the beaver's urine.
It is used to mark territory.
Both male and female beavers have two castor sacs.
They have two glands in two empty spaces under the skin.
They are between the pelvis and the base of the tail.
The castor sacs are not glands.
Today, castoreum is used to trap animals.
It is used also to make perfumes.
It is also used as a drug.
Castoreum in perfume
Castoreum is used in perfume-making.
It is used to describe the solution from the alcohol-tinted and dried beaver castor.
Dried beaver castor sacs are aged for two or more years.
They are aged to soften.
They are also aged for their harshness to vanish.
In the science of perfume, castoreum is mainly used as a smell for leather.
It is often used with other ingredients.
There are some classic perfumes that use castor.
They are Emeraude, Coty Chanel Cuir de Russie, Magie Noire, Lancôme Caractère, Hechter Madame, Carven, Givenchy III, Shalimar, and many "leather" perfumes.
Castoreum in medicine
Modern use of castoreum is rare in medicine.
However, the dried pair of castors may still be worth more than the beaver's fur.
Castoreum appeared in medicine until the 1700s.
It was used to treat many different sicknesses.
Some of the sicknesses it helped treat are headache, fever, and hysteria.
The Romans believed the smells made by burning castoreum could bring about an abortion.
Paracelsus thought it could be used in the treatment of seizures.
Medieval beekeepers used it to make more honey.

The Blue Ridge Mountains are mountains that go across the eastern United States.
They go through Georgia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and West Virginia.
Its highest point is Mount Mitchell in North Carolina.
The first mountain or best known mountain, is Blue Mountain in Pennsylvania.
The Blue Ridge Mountains are a part of the Appalachian Mountains.
The blue haze which covers the mountains is caused by isoprene.
It is produced by the trees and other plants.
Mount Mitchell is a mountain in North Carolina.
It is  tall, the tallest in the Blue Ridge Mountains.
The top of the mountain is the highest point in the United States east of the Black Hills in South Dakota.
The mountain was named after Elisha Mitchell, a professor at the University of North Carolina, who determined its height in 1835.
Mitchell later fell to his death at nearby Mitchell Falls in 1857, having returned to verify his earlier measurements.
The ascent of Mount Mitchell is now rather easy, since a 4.6 mile (7.4 km) road (NC 128) off the historic and scenic Blue Ridge Parkway runs nearby, and a 980-foot (300 m) trail leads through a conifer forest to the summit.
The 40-foot (12 m) stone observation tower on the summit was torn down in late 2006.
A new observation deck was constructed and opened to visitors in January 2009.[3] Also on the summit is the tomb of Dr. Mitchell.
Sweet Home Alabama is a song by Southern rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd from the album Second Helping.
It was released in 1974 and reached the #8 spot on the American music charts.
The song was made in response to two songs that Neil Young had made about racism in the Southern United States, called "Southern Man" and "Alabama".
The band felt that Young was being unfair to Alabama and the South, so Sweet Home Alabama includes the positive things about the state including the beautiful whether ("where the sky's always blue") and the music heritage (Now Muscle Shoals has got the Swampers / And they've been known to pick a song or two").
The song also protests then-Alabama Governor George Wallace, who was known for his racist views.

François-André Danican Philidor (7 September 1726 – 31 August 1795), often referred to as André Danican Philidor during his lifetime, or to personal friends as André, was probably the best chessplayer of his time, and a notable composer of light operatic music.
He was born into a family of musicians who served at the French court.
He became the author of a book on chess which influenced players for many years.p303p15
His family name had once been Duncan, until they came from Scotland to Brittany.
Danican was then their family name.
Then, after their appointment to the court of King Louis XIII in the 17th century, they adopted the name Philidor as a tribute to an Italian court musician called Filidori.
Young Philidor was trained in music from an early age, and learnt chess from musicians in intervals between musical numbers.
He turned out to be equally good at both activities, though initially the music came first.
Philidor took chess lessons from the leading French master of the time, du Kermeur, Sire de Légall (known as Légall).
After three years, he was on equal terms.
In 1746 he found himself in Rotterdam without money, after a tour had ended in the death of a young girl harpsichord player.
He started to play chess for money, and came to London in 1747 to play a match against the strongest English player, whom he beat.
Thus started his new life.
He played chess in London, and wrote light operatic scores for the Comédie-Française in Paris.
His life in chess
Philidor started playing regularly about 1740 at the Parisian Café de la Régence.
It was there that he played with a friend from 'New England', Mr. Benjamin Franklin.
At 21 Philidor met the Syrian Philip Stamma of Aleppo, who was a translator and chess player of note.
Philidor won by 8½–1⅓. At 29 he defeated his tutor Légall in a match.
Unfortunately, none of these games survive, though we do have a number of games from his later career.
In 1744, as a teenager, he could play two games of chess simultaneously blindfold, and in Berlin he played three games without sight of the board.
He gave these exhibitions many times.
This was thought to be a marvel, though it had been done before, by an Italian priest, Saccheri.p45
In 1749 he published a book on chess which was to make his name.
The first edition, in French, included a subscription list of prosperous sponsors, such as the Earl of Sandwich and the Duke of Cumberland.
An edition in English, Chess analysed, came out in 1750.
He revised and extended the book twice, in 1777 and 1790.
Over the years, the book was a steady success.
By 1871, it had gone through about 70 editions, and had been translated into English, German, Russian and Italian.
Eventually it went through over a hundred editions in ten languages.p17
His chess ideas
"Philidor's Analyse revolutionised chess thought.
For the first time the principles of chess were laid down in an intelligible manner... In particular, he laid down the rules for the correct handling of pawns... [There are] games... to illustrate his principles... He gives some remarkable [endgame] analysis".
Hartston p17
Philidor's motto "Les pions sont de l'âme du jeu" (Pawns are the soul of chess) is a saying which is still taught to young players today.
It sums up the idea that the pawn 'skeleton' gives the game its long-term structure, and influences how a game proceeds.
Philidor also studied chess endgames, and the book gives generally accurate information about them.
An important chess  endgame position that he wrote about is called the Philidor position.
Philidor was now received into fashionable society in France and England.
He took his mistress with him to Prussia, then back to England.
Later, in 1760, he married a singer, and had seven children.p304 Philidor played chess at the Café de la Régence in Paris, and at the Salopian Coffee-house and at Parsloe's chess club in London.
Philidor's contemporaries had some difficulty believing he could be so good at two such different arts, but he was.
His work on comic opera (opéra bouffe) excelled.
He wrote 25 such works, four with collaborators (including Rousseau). "
His Tom Jones (1765) was regarded as the finest work in the theatre...  His Ernelinda, Princess of Norway (1766) so pleased Louis XV that he gave Philidor a pension of 25 louis d'or (French gold coin) from his own purse".p304 The English, however, ignored his music, and after 1792 he never returned home.
The French Revolution made his connection with royalty a danger.
Philidor died in 1795, and the Comédie-Française held a benefit concert for his widow.
This term was made popular by US President Richard Nixon in a speech he gave on November 3 1969, about the Vietnam War.
Nixon said "And so tonight, to you, the great silent majority of my fellow Americans; I ask for your support."
The opposite of the silent majority were a noisy minority, a small group of people, who Nixon said tried to get their way by holding demonstrations in the streets.
The speech on this link does not contain these words.
Read it for yourself.
It only references the term “Silent Majority” which had been described during his campaign in other speeches.
I might add that we are a Republic, and a “Silent Majority” is probably the most dangerous threat to the Constitution that we face.
During WWII many German citizens claimed they had no idea of what was happening with the concentration camps.
However many citizens felt opposed but did not stand up and fight them.

was the 19th emperor of Japan, according to the traditional order of succession.
Historians consider details about the life of Emperor Ingyō to be possibly legendary, but probable.
The name Ingyō-tennō was created for him posthumously by later generations.
The Kojiki and Nihon Shoki record that Ingyō was the fourth son of Emperor Nintoku.
He was the younger brother of Emperor Hanzei.
Ingyō made one of his brothers his heir, but this plan did not unfold as planned.
Instead, his brother's sons would attain the throne.
Ingyō would be followed by his nephews, Emperor Ankō and Emperor Yūryaku.
Events of Ingyō's life
Very little is known about the events of Ingyō's life and reign.
The earliest recorded earthquake in Japan was in 416.
The Imperial Palace in Kyoto was destroyed.
Ingyō is venerated at a memorial Shinto shrine (misasagi) in Fujiidera, which is a city near Osaka.
The first three acts were about immigration.
They set required time for an immigrant to become a citizen, and allowed the president to send illegal immigrants back to their home country if their home country is at war with the United States or they are considered to be dangerous to the US.
The fourth act made it a crime to publish bad things about the government.
The acts were very controversial.
Many people did not like them because they felt that they violated the First Amendment.
The acts made many people dislike John Adams.
For that reason, Thomas Jefferson and the Democratic-Republican Party were able to defeat John Adams and the Federalist Party in the elections of 1800.
Three of the acts were repealed.
The Alien Enemies Act, however, is still United States law.

is also known as Japanese chess.
It is a two-player board game in the same family as International chess, and Chinese Xiangqi.
Shogi is the most popular of a family of chess variants, and is native to Japan.
Shōgi means general's (shō) boardgame (gi).
In early years, however, shogi was written 象棋 (the same as Xiangqi, "elephant chess").
The earliest predecessors of the game, chaturanga, originated in India in the 6th century AD, and spread from China to Japan, where it spawned a number of variants.
Shogi in its present form was played as early as the 16th century, while a direct ancestor without the "drop rule" was recorded from 1210 in a historical document Nichūreki, which is an edited copy of Shōchūreki and Kaichūreki from the late Heian period (~1120).
According to ChessVariants.com, "Perhaps the enduring popularity of Shogi can be attributed to its 'drop rule'; it was the first chess variant wherein captured pieces could be returned to the board to be used as one's own.
This has the consequence that few games are drawn, which is a weakness of international chess.
David Pritchard credits the drop rule to the practice of 16th century mercenaries (ronin) who switched loyalties when captured—no doubt as an alternative to execution".

The 1964 United States presidential election happened on November 3, 1964.
It was between Democrat Lyndon Johnson, President of the United States, and his running mate Hubert Humphrey of Minnesota, against Republican Barry Goldwater, a Senator from Arizona, and his running mate, Congressman William Miller of New York.
In 1963, President John F. Kennedy was assassinated and Johnson (his vice president) became president of the United States.
Lyndon Johnson campaigned to continue many of Kennedy's policies and ideas such as civil rights.
He supported a series of programs called the "Great Society" to improve the quality of living for poor people which included programs like Medicare, Medicaid, and environmental programs.
Barry Goldwater had the opposite belief that the government should be smaller and he was against government programs.
During his campaign, actor Ronald Reagan made a famous speech called "A Time For Choosing" in support of Goldwater.
Goldwater, during the campaign, was portrayed as an extremist who condoned the actions of the KKK and would cause nuclear war.
His beliefs were radical at the time, but they would later influence many libertarian and conservative politicians.
