Which of the following best completes the passage below?
One tax-reform proposal that has gained increasing support in recent years is the flat tax, which imposes a uniform tax rate on incomes at every level. Opponents of the flat tax say that a progressive tax system, which levies a higher rate of taxes on higher-income taxpayers, is fairer, placing the greater burden on those better able to bear it. However, the present crazy quilt of tax deductions, exemptions, credits, and loopholes benefits primarily the high-income tazpayer, who is consequently able to reduce his or her effecitve tax rate, often to a level below that paid by the lower-income tazpayer.Therefore____
A. higer-income taxpayers are likely to lend their support to the flat proposal now being considered by Congress
D. the progressive nature of our present tax system is more illusory than real.

我觉得题目However之后的意思是，如果按progressive tax system来，现在各种减税、免税等等漏洞都是让高收入的纳税者受益的，他们反而可以利用这些把自己的税率降到低收入者的税率之下，也就是反对progressive tax system，按收入高低来纳税受益的还是高收入者，因此，the progressive nature of our present tax system is more illusory than real.
A选项，flat tax是纳一样的税，progressive反而纳的税比低收入者少，所以高收入者应该是支持progressive的~
