122. When people evade income taxes by not declaring taxable income, a vicious cycle results. Tax evasion forces lawmakers to raise income tax rates, which causes the tax burden on nonevading taxpayers to become heavier. This, in turn, encourages even more taxpayers to evade income taxes by hiding taxable income.

The vicious cycle described above could not result unless which of the following were true?

(A) An increase in tax rates tends to function as an incentive for taxpayers to try to increase their pretax incomes.

(B) Some methods for detecting tax evaders, and thus recovering some tax revenue lost through evasion, bring in more than they cost, but their success rate varies from years to year.

(C) When lawmakers establish income tax rates in order to generate a certain level of revenue, they do not allow adequately for revenue that will be lost through evasion.

(D) No one who routinely hides some taxable income can be induced by a lowering of tax rates to stop hiding such income unless fines for evaders are raised at the same time. C

(E) Taxpayers do not differ from each other with respect to the rate of taxation that will cause them to evade taxes.

122.

For tax evasion to force a raise in income tax rates it must be true that tax evasion causes actual tax revenues to fall short of revenue needs. This is the situation that choice C describes; choice C is therefore the best answer.

看不懂啊，为什么选c呢

"Tax evasion forces lawmakers to raise income tax rates" is one necessary point of the cycle. If it is cut off by " tax evasion does not force lawmakers to raise income tax rates", the "cycle" will not cycle any more.

C is equivalent to " tax evasion does not force lawmakers to raise income tax rates".

谢谢，可是我还是觉得c的表述我不大明白

When lawmakers establish income tax rates in order to generate a certain level of revenue, they do not allow adequately for revenue that will be lost through evasion

当法律制定者为了产生某一水平的收入建立收入税的时候，他们不容许会通过逃税的方式虚报收入，

是这个解释么？前面那块好别扭阿，不知道怎么翻，如果大概就是这个意思的话

跟 tax evasion does not force lawmakers to raise income tax rates怎么是一样的呢？

they do not allow adequately for revenue that will be lost through evasion 意思是没有充分估计到那些由于逃税而造成的的税收损失，因此为了弥补这些损失，需要进一步增税。

我曾经跟你犯过同样的错误，这里的allow for是考虑的意思，不是允许的意思，ETS 良心大大的坏，硬在中间加了个adequately，害的我当初也是怎么也想不通
