In order to raise revenue, the federal government planned a tax amnesty program that allows tax delinquents to pay all owed tax without added financial penalty. However, economists projected that the federal government would collect a far lower percentage of total tax owed by delinquents than did state governments implementing similar programs.

Which of the following, if true, would most contribute to an explanation of the economists’ projections?
 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A    Tax amnesty programs are only successful if they are widely publicized
 
B    Most people who honestly pay their state tax are equally honest in paying their federal tax
 
C    Although federal tax delinquents usually must pay high financial penalties, the states require far lower financial penalties.
 
D    The state tax rate varies considerably from state to state, but the federal tax is levied according to laws which apply to citizens of all the states.
 
E    Unlike most federal tax delinquents, most state tax delinquents fail to pay state tax because of an oversight rather than a decision not to pay.

联邦政府的违约者更多是不愿交税的人，州政府的是因为疏忽造成的。因此实行新的

豁免，联邦级的收入未必增加。

 B.The scheduled highway projects identified as wasteful in the report were not mostly projects in districts controlled by the President’s party.

就是说在报告中认定为浪费钱的，但是却被批准要实施的项目大部分都不在总统控制的地区。

如果取反，就说明总统的反对不是依据预算，而是其它目的了。比如说出于报复。
