President Obama has discussed raising income taxes for individuals earning over $250,000 in income. Explain how these higher income taxes will affect the aggregate demand curve
What will be an ideal response?
Raising the income tax decreases the amount of disposable income available to those households. Lower disposable income decreases consumption at every price level. The result is a shift in the aggregate demand curve to the left.
