PrepTest B, Section 4, Question 14
Citizen: Our legislators need to act quickly to counter the effects of the recession, especially the present level of unemployment, which is the highest ever. We urgently need a major tax cut for our upper-income citizens. There would then be a correspondingly large increase in investment that would create new jobs. If this measure is not taken, investment will not grow.

The citizen's argument depends on the assumption that
the recession in the citizen's country is the worst one in its history
the greater the tax cut given to a group of people, the more likely it is that members of that group will invest the money
upper-income citizens have invested more money in total than have lower-income citizens
upper-income citizens would use the money gained from the tax cut in ways that increase investment
in the past, tax cuts for certain groups of people have tended to create new jobs
