What happens to net personal income when the government raises taxes?

Generally if your gross income stays the same and the government raises taxes, it decreases your net personal income. On the macro scale, as government raises taxes, most people's net personal income decreases, which means their disposable income also decreases. Since their disposable income decreases, they spend less (unless they want to just get deeper in debt), which further decreases the gross income of those they buy goods and services from with their disposable income. This can actually lead to a decrease in total tax revenue as the gross incomes of the population can drop a greater percentage than the increased percentage of the taxes; 40% of $80,000 is only $32,000 while 35% of $100,000 is $35,000.
