tax extends to the medical insurance. Since according to the logic, all should-be subsidies are due taxes. It may be true in economics that the reduction of subsidy decreases one's disposable income,thus, indirectly increases the tax. In the logic sense, however, it extends the content of tax.

comparable countries, are the most lightly taxed. True, the United
States has the lowest tax, as percent of gross domestic product, of the
Western industrialized countries, but tax rates alone do not tell the
whole story. People in the United States pay out of pocket for many
goods and services provided from tax revenues elsewhere. Consider
universal health care, which is an entitlement supported by tax
revenues in every other Western industrialized country. United States
government health-care expenditures are equivalent to about 5 percent
of the gross domestic product, but private health-care expenditures
represent another 7 percent. This 7 percent, then, amounts to a tax.
The argument concerning whether the people of the United States are the
most lightly taxed is most vulnerable to which one of the following
criticisms?
(A) It bases a comparison on percentages rather than on absolute
numbers
(B) It unreasonably extends the application of a key term
(C) It uses negatively charged language instead of attempting to give a
reason
(D) It generalizes from only a few instances
(E) It sets up a dichotomy between alternatives that are not exclusive 答案是b,这里面的key term是不是这个tax啊,就算是的话,这个答案又从和说
