Explanation:
The Economy Recovery Tax Act of 1981 was a tax cut signed by President Ronald Reagan with the purpose of promoting economic growth by reducing taxes for individuals, but also for business, although individuals received more benefits.

Considering the previous ideas, it can be concluded the Economic Recovery Tax Act of 1981 mainly decreased taxes for individuals and businesses.
