Can someone confirm if idiom "propose to" is correct?In B, I am able to understand why "may be.." is wrong.

may be is not an issue in (B) but "the proposal of taxing" seems to be awkward.

According to some analysts, whatever its merits, the proposal to tax away all capital gains on short-term investments would, if enacted, have a disastrous effect on Wall Street trading and employment.

(A) its merits, the proposal to tax
(B) its merits may be, the proposal of taxing

How is B eliminated!?

yeah "proposal of taxing" does seem to be awkward.I always have this trouble.When I am answering the question for the first time, the right one seems wrong.If I read the question again after a day I am like" how the hell did I miss it?"

In any case we have to first understand the meaning of the sentence. What are we trying to enact here?

Tax or the Proposal. I hope everyone would agree that we are trying to enact the Proposal to tax and not the tax itself. This makes A the better choice.
