premise 1: Three percent of current retail sales is lessthan the amount collected through property taxes 说明税收会下降。
premise 2: __________________。
conclusion: implementation of theplan would not necessarily reduce the amount of money going to Aroca County publicschools税收没有下降。

要想证明结论，premise2肯定是说税收会上升之类的。新开了一家店，税基就上来了，注意如果只吸引国内的人的话，假设需求水平不变，那么税基没有变化，只是个零和博弈，如果吸引外国游客，那么税基增加，所有收入上升。

所以正确答案是B。

A.      many Aroca County residents have already left the county because of its high property taxes
无关选项，因为不管A县的人搬不搬走，房子是不会跟着走的，property taxes一定是要交的。
B.       a shopping mall likely to draw shoppers from neighboring counties is about to open in Aroca County
正确，新的mall会招来更多的顾客，原先不够的3%的销售税将来在乘以更大销售额的基础上会带来更多的revenue
C.      at least some Aroca County parents are likely to use the money they will save on property taxes to send their children to private schools not funded by the county
无关选项，除了父母，私校等无关因素外，开头的at least some就说明这部分人群不具代表性，不能构成支持或反对。
D.      a significant proportion of parents of Aroca  County public school students do not own their homes and consequently do not pay property taxes
无关选项，似乎支持了用sale tax替代property tax的观点，但无法解释原题：3%sale tax目前不能收上来的钱比用property tax收上的钱少，但仍然要推行这个政策。个人认为该题主要问的是finacial的gap是怎么弥补的，如果从其他角度来解释都不够直接。
E.       retailers in Aroca County are not likely to absorb the sales tax by reducing the pretax price of their goods
无关选项，先直译一下：A县的零售商不会通过降低税前售价的方式来承担销售税。潜台词就是消费者最终付的钱数没有因为tax而增加，原来标价1块钱的东西现在变成0.97块了，付款的时候加上3％的税还是付1块，tax的负担由商家埋单了。这最多能说明新策略后总的销售额不会因为赋税而下降，没法解释为什么总零售税额能达到或超过地产税额这个预期。
