Proponents of the recently introduced tax on sales of new luxury boats had argued that a tax of this sort would be an equitable way to increase government revenue because the admittedly heavy tax burden would fall only on wealthy people and neither they nor anyone else would suffer any economic hardship. In fact, however, 20 percent of the workers employed by manufacturers of luxury boats have lost their jobs as a direct result of this tax.

The information given, if true, most strongly supports which of the following?

The market for luxury boats would have collapsed even if the new tax on luxury boats had been lower. The new tax would produce a net gain in tax revenue for the government only if the yearly total revenue that it generates exceeds the total of any yearly tax-revenue decrease resulting from the workers' loss of jobs. Because many people never buy luxury items, imposing a sales tax on luxury items is the kind of legislative action that does not cost incumbent legislators much popular support. Before the tax was instituted, luxury boats were largely bought by people who were not wealthy. Taxes can be equitable only if their burden is evenly distributed over the entire population.

正确答案： B

题干翻译
对豪华游艇征税是增加政府收入的公平方式，因为诚然重税负担只落在富人身上，且他们和其他人都不会遭受经济困难。然而，事实上，豪华游艇制造商雇佣的工人中有20%直接因这项税收失去了工作。 逻辑链
Tax on luxury boats → Workers lose jobs 问题类型
推理题（从给定信息推出结论） 推理过程
对豪华游艇征税原本认为只影响富人且无经济困难，但实际导致了工人失业。政府通过征税获得收入，同时工人失业可能导致税收减少（比如失业工人的个人所得税等减少），只有当征税带来的年收入超过因工人失业导致的年税收减少总额时，政府才能在税收上有净收益。 选项分析
A选项：即使豪华游艇的新税更低，豪华游艇市场也会崩溃。题干未提及税率高低与市场崩溃的关系，无法从给定信息推出，排除。 B选项：新税只有在其产生的年总收入超过因工人失业导致的年税收减少总额时，才会为政府带来税收净收益。符合上述推理过程，当选。 C选项：因为很多人从不购买奢侈品，对奢侈品征收销售税这种立法行动不会让现任立法者失去太多民众支持。题干重点是税收和工人失业对政府税收收入的影响，而非立法者的民众支持，排除。 D选项：在征税之前，豪华游艇主要由不富裕的人购买。这与题干中征税只针对富人的前提相悖，排除。 E选项：税收只有在其负担在全体人口中平均分配时才是公平的。题干讨论的是豪华游艇征税对政府税收和工人就业的影响，而非税收公平的定义，排除。
