CR9.80 Which if the following, if true, most logically completes the argument?
Aroca County’s public schools are supported primarily by taxes on property. The county plans to
eliminate the property tax and support schools with a new three percent sales tax on all retail items
sold in the county. Three percent of current retail sales is less than the amount collected through
property taxes, but implementation of the plan would not necessarily reduce the amount of money
going to Aroca County public schools, because ______.
A. many Aroca County residents have already left the county because of its high property taxes
B. a shopping mall likely to draw shoppers from neighboring counties is about to open in Aroca
County
C. at least some Aroca County parents are likely to use the money they will save on property taxes
to send their children to private schools not funded by the county
D. a significant proportion of parents of Aroca County public school students do not own their
homes and consequently do not pay property taxes
E. retailers in Aroca County are not likely to absorb the sales tax by reducing the pretax price of
their goods
关于TAX的逻辑题经常会搞晕。
这里的学校靠财产税资助。这里的财产税是指对整个COUNTY收的财产税来资助这个学校么？
后来改成3%的消费税来资助学校,是指对所有消费所得,征收3%的税,然后这3%全部拿来资助学校么?
对答案B没问题。
对错误选项C有问题，the money they will save on property taxes，为什么能从财产税中省钱呢？每个人不都是要按规定的财产比例交税的么？还是说去schools not funded by the county就不用交财产税了？有点不明白。
