标题: 求教实在不明白的一道题
In order to raise revenue, the federal government planned a tax amnesty大赦;特赦program that allows tax delinquent拖欠的s 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疏忽 rather than a decision not to pay.
答案是E 为什么呢看不懂。。。

In E, those who did not pay federal tax have decided not to pay the tax while those who did not pay state tax have simply forgotten to pay. Therefore, the former won't pay back the owned tax with or without a tax amnesty while the latter might.

nn请教，不知道我这么想对不对呢？
不想交的人：心理是就想逃税，以前有惩罚措施所以不得不交，现在惩罚措施取消后，立马不交税了——program实施后revenue下降——far lower percentage of total tax ——federal
忘了交的人：即使惩罚措施取消，还是容易健忘，还是忘了交——program实施后revenue不变——relatively higher percentage of total tax——state

Close but not perfect:
Federal: 不想交的人, with or without the program, they WILL NOT pay tax since they do not intend to pay in the first place.
State: 忘了交的人, they might pay the tax under the new program once they remember to pay.
