Assume that workers whoses are less than $8000 currently pay no federal income taxes. Suppose a new government program guarantees each worker $4000, whether or not he or she earns any income. For all earned income up to $8000, the worker must pay a 50- percent tax. Draw the budget line facing the worker under this new program. Using the line drawing tool, draw the new budget line facing a worker whose wage is such that his or her pre-tax earned income is less than $8000. Label this line 'BC2'.
