Job Act) has reduced the income tax rates, doubled the standard
deductions and eliminated the exemptions. For corporate also, the
tax rates have been decreased. For individuals, it will increase
the net disposable income that is the result of paying less tax,
getting more deductions, but not getting exemptions. This increase
in disposable income will increase the purchasing power of the
individuals and society and they will spend more. In economy, it
will cause aggregate demand to increase and it will catered by the
increased level of aggregate supply. As a result, new jobs will be
created and the economy will grow. Further, it will also reduce the
