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?


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

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

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

D.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.

E.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.

答案E，就是不明白为什么州立的拖欠税款者没付钱是因为忘记了而不是因为故意不付钱就使得S收的钱比F收的钱多。。。请大家看看~~

Premise:
The federal government planned a tax amnesty program that
allows tax delinquents to pay all owed tax without added financial penalty.

Conclusion:
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.

E is right since it says that the delinquents in State tax are simply forgetting to pay while the delinguqents in Federal tax are determined NOT to pay.  If this is true, even if the penalty is removed, those who evaded federal tax will not pay the Federal tax since they have made up their mind not to.

我没有搞明白，就是那些不想付税的人，和 忘记赋税的人，结果不都是没有赋税么， 怎么会有差距呢？

我理解，是不是这样的，
因为题目说的是，Federal Tax 的人们只要交上税（就算没按时交，最后交上的），没有惩罚，，但是E说的是：
State tas 的人们虽然忘记，但是最终会补上，所以Tax revenue 不会损失，
但是FederalTax的人们故意不交，这样无限下去，税收会损失越来越少。
请LS的NN们帮忙看下思路喔，多谢指点!
