. 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.

想请教A选项，OG上说的是any incentive to increase pretax incomes would counter the reported tandency to conceal income and thus break the cycle.我不清楚这里是怎么破坏循环的。

另外，根据og，我对BD的理解是这两个选项都可阻止eavde的发生，这样理解对吧？

A的意思是说税率提高，促使人们提高自己税前工资，这不等于变相的防止税率再次提高，因而防止循环产生。

B，D不是阻止evade的发生，但也非假设。。

不好意思，没有明白你的意思，可否说详细点

BD在og是就是说的 inhibits tax evasion and breaks the cycle

m8888302

其实我也不是很清楚。。说说我的想法
A的意思是说税率提高，促使人们提高自己税前工资，这等于防止税率再次提高，因而防止循环产生。

D是说没有人会因为降低税率而不逃税，除非惩罚措施加强。如果惩罚措施加强，那么会有人因为降低税率而不逃税，这样可能会避免循环？。。是这个意思？

B 某些能确保增加税收的检查措施 可能成功也可能不成功，这样也算是增加了税收，因而不用再提高税率，因而避免循环。。？大概。。
