(D) the proposal’s merits, to tax（A）
(E) the proposal’s merits are, taxing

從句子後面可看到would, if enacted, have a disastrous effect on Wall Street
可發現主詞應該是proposal 而非 taxing
剩下AB
AB 可利用proposal 的慣用法 to +N
so..
I agree with A

同意楼上的解题思路，主语是proposal而不是taxing或者to tax。但是proposal有几种用法，分别是proposal to do 或者加that 从句 或者of/for doing.
选A 我是因为惯用法。  有这样一种惯用法，如Whatever the cost，we will go on with this plan. the cost 后面一般是不加东西的。

谢谢 可是 proposal 和 taxing  可以做同位语吗??

E选项中做不了同位语 the proposal’s merits are, taxing    这个whatever指代的是the proposal’s merits 是指proposal 的优点，而 taxing是缺点，两者不一样
