Show that the consumer is better off with a lump-sum tax


Problem

Show that the consumer is better off with a lump-sum tax rather than a proportional tax on wage income (as in question 3) given that either tax yields the same revenue for the government. You must use a diagram to show this. ( Hint: The consumption bundle the consumer chooses under the proportional tax must be just affordable given the lump-sum tax.)

The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
