2. Which of the following best completes the passage below?
One tax-reform proposal that has gained increasing support in recent years is the flat tax, which would impose a uniform tax rate on incomes at every level. Opponents of the flat tax say that a progressive tax system, which levies a higher rate of taxes on higher-income taxpayers, is fairer, placing the greater burden on those better able to bear it. However, the present crazy quilt of tax deductions, exemptions, credits, and loopholes benefits primarily the high-income taxpayer, who is consequently able to reduce his or her effective tax rate, often to a level below that paid by the lower-income taxpayer. Therefore, ______
(A) higher-income taxpayers are likely to lend their support to the flat-tax proposal now being considered by Congress
(B) a flat-tax system that allowed no deductions or exemptions would substantially increase actual government revenues
(C) the lower-income taxpayer might well be penalized by the institution of a flat-tax system in this country
(D) the progressive nature of our present tax system is more illusory than real
(E) the flat tax would actually be fairer to the low
答案是D
请问怎么得出来的呢?为什么C不对呢?
答案是

我觉得flat对低收入人群是好还是不好不一定的，flat的税率高于progress时低收入人群的税率，则flat相对来说就penalize了穷人，选C；但是如果flat税率低于progress的低收入税率，那相对来说就对穷人fairer一点么，选E；所以题设没有给，只能选D

那么请问E项为什么不对
E  the flat tax would actually be fairer to the lower-income taxpayer than any progressive tax system could be

Lower-income taxpayer 在flat tax 中和higher-income taxpayer 征收的是平等得，但是在progressive rate system中
higher-income taxpayer 往往比Lower-income taxpayer 征收的更低~~
这不是说明flat tax 更低~~？

Moreover, under progressive rate system，the poor was also penalized, because the rich has various methods to reduce their taxes often under the poor's lever. To this point, the poor doesn't penalized under faire rate system.

文中只是讲了progressive tax rate 并不能真正实现公平，有钱人有各种方法避税。但是并没有讲FLAT tax 有什么好或不好，所以C是错的，D才是对的。
