That taxes CAN be collected without a reduction in penalties does mean that they CAN'T be collected IN OTHER WAYS. Thus, when D is negated, it still entirely possible that THE OTHER WAY proposed by the state officials -- the incentive of reduced penalties -- will persuade delinquent corporations to...
