Most people agree that taxes must be paid. Government couldn’t run without money. So people don’t argue against taxes. They just argue about how taxes should be collected.
At present the federal government works with a "progressive tax". The tax covers a percentage of people’s wages. Not everyone pays the same percentage of his salary in taxes. Taxpayers fall into different "tax brackets" depending on their income. Poor people are in a low tax bracket. They pay the smallest percentage of income in taxes. Middle income workers pay a larger percentage than the poor. And the rich fall into the high tax brackets. Few rich people like the progressive tax.
The government took a poll. Among other people, the government talked to Ray Mathers and Eve Winick.
"Let’s change to a flat rate tax," says Ray Mather. "Everyone should be taxed the same percentage. It’s fair. And it’s easy to figure out. " Mathers is president of Trig Computer Company. He makes over $ 80 000 a year.
"I don’t want a flat rate income tax," says Eve Winick. Winick is a grammar school teacher. Her school is in a poor neighborhood. She makes $ 14 000 a year. "I don’t care if it’s easier to figure out. What I want to know is, would I pay less tax?" Winick worries about her students’ parents. "Some of them can hardly support themselves. Why should they pay heavier taxes? They’re the people who need government services. "
Mathers thinks a flat rate would help in the long run. "The country could lower taxes after a while. See, if I paid fewer taxes, I’d save money. I’d put that money into my business and hire more people. Those people could pay taxes. Everybody would be better off. "
Questions: [br] Winick does not want a flat rate tax because______.
选项
A、it is hard to figure out that she is rich
B、she is very rich
C、she might have to pay more taxes
D、she does not agree with Mathers
答案
C
解析
第3题问为什么Winick不赞同“统一费用收税法”。回答此题仍需用查阅式阅读法。文章第五段指出,Winick是一个中学老师,年薪14 000美元,她工作的学校在贫民区。她说:“我不关心是否更容易计算,我想知道的是,我可以更少些纳税吗?”她认为她的一些学生的家长几乎难以养家糊口,为什么还应该纳许多税,他们是需要政府资助的。因此,我们可推断出本题的正确答案应是C:她可能要纳更多的税。
