Do consumers or producers mainly drive the market?

I heard, somewhere, that a main difference between liberal and conservatives is that the former believes that it's spending power that drives the market, so you want a majority of the population to be buying, and the latter believes that innovation drives the market, that is you want to give it to "innovators." So I guess the idea is that being able to spend drives innovation? And the opposite idea is that a smaller group of people are better at innovating things that are of any significant value? I'm aware that economists agree that tax cuts increase spending, but is there any information as to whether it is better to make sure the majority of the population is spending the most? I hope this makes sense. I did my best. To be open about my bias, I really want to know if any of my convictions about quickly and vastly increasing spending for social safety nets or if I need to think and vote differently about this.

I've heard a lot more liberals argue for education subsidies, R&D subsidies, and infrastructure investment than conservatives. Those are all supply side policies which are mostly about increasing investment. 

I've heard a lot more conservatives defend Trump's exploding fiscal deficits and calls for easier monetary policy than liberals. Those are all demand side policies mostly about increasing nominal expenditures. 

The liberal - conservative dichotomy is absolutely useless here.
