Income

by GmatKiss » Tue May 15, 2012 11:26 am
Income in a single year is a very poor guide to income and wealth over even a few years, much less a lifetime; in the longer run, a tax on what people spend is therefore not much different than a tax on their income.

　　(A) than a tax on their income

　　(B) from a tax on what they earn

　　(C) than taxing income

　　(D) from the income tax

　　(E) than a tax on what people earn

X different from Y -- XY parallel structure -- people spend, people earn
people -- plural -- requires plural verb they

IMO: B
