大全48看tax做动词的用法

prettysummer

48.
            According to some analysts, whatever its merits, the proposal to tax away all capital gains on short-term investments would, if enacted, have a disastrous effect on Wall Street trading and employment.

(A) its merits, the proposal to tax

(B) its merits may be, the proposal of taxing

(C) its merits as a proposal, taxing

(D) the proposal’s merits, to tax

(E) the proposal’s merits are, taxing

根据大全的解释，这里的proposal to do sth是一个固定用法 ，那么原句中tax 应该就是作动词用的 。但是还是读不明白tax away all capital gains on short-term investments 的意思，谁能帮忙解释一下吗？说说tax做为动词是怎么用的？多谢啊
