Q9:In order to raise revenue, the federal government planned a tax amnesty program that allows tax delinquents 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?

1. Tax amnesty programs are only successful if they are widely publicized.

2. Most people who honestly pay their state tax are equally honest in paying their federal tax.

3. Although federal tax delinquents usually must pay high financial penalties, the states require far lower financial penalties.

4. 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.

5. Unlike most federal tax delinquents, most state tax delinquents fail to pay state tax because of an oversight rather than a decision not to pay.

the answer is E, 谁给解释一下？

E简而言之，州税是忘了交，联邦税是故意不交，所以经济学家有此预测。

多些2位，现在明白了，刚才很糊涂；

 a tax amnesty program 实行,federal tax delinquents还是不会交，因为他们故意不交，所以联邦政府收税不会增加；

a tax amnesty program 实行，State tax delinquents会去缴税，因为他们本来就打算交的，只是由于疏忽忘了交，而且取消了penalty他们更加愿意去补交。

可我觉得C更好啊.C 是说联邦的税经常要纳税人付很高的financial penalty,而州的比这个低.所以一旦联邦的税为了鼓励大家而不收financial penalty的话,不是就比州的少很多吗?

而像楼上说的因为州税是忘交,而联邦税是故意不交,那经济学家也不会预测说联邦收的会比州收的少很多啊.

很不解,忘各位高手指点

根据答案是否有比较，可以排除A。

B说的是两者的共同点，也可以排除。

CD没有比较逃税者的动机，所以错
