Answer:

Taxes reduce disposable income and can make goods and services more expensive. Income taxes leave consumers with less money to spend after receiving their paychecks. Sales taxes raise the final prices of purchases, which reduces buying power. Because of these effects, consumers often compare opportunity costs and choose carefully between items.
