social science academic (part b) pva (acc.ed) (fa25) / module 3: public and private sectors

1. people do not like to pay taxes, according to economists, because of all of the following except

government can force us to pay taxes while other monetary transactions are voluntary.
the link between our spending costs and benefits is broken when it comes to paying taxes.
the benefits of paying taxes are obvious while the costs are harder to measure.
the costs of taxes are obvious, while the benefits are not.

Explanation:

Tax aversion arises from taxes being involuntary, broken cost-benefit links, and obvious costs vs. non-obvious benefits. The option stating benefits are obvious and costs hard to measure contradicts this logic.

Answer:

the benefits of paying taxes are obvious while the costs are harder to measure.
