B) ​Higher marginal tax rates promote economic inefficiency and thereby retard aggregate output, because they encourage investors to undertake low-productivity projects with substantial tax-shelter benefits.
C) ​Income redistribution payments will exert little impact on real aggregate supply, since they do not consume resources directly.
