Hector: Government welfare programs are much less efficient than private charities. Since people donate more to charities when they have more, income tax rates should be decreased so as to increase benefits to those now served by government welfare programs.
Andromache: Income tax rates should be reduced so as to leave taxpayers with more disposable income. This in turn will lead to greater spending and investment, which will stimulate our stagnant economy by making increased production more profitable.
Which of the following best describes the logical relationship between the two arguments above?
A. They endorse the same course of action for different purposes.
B. They endorse different courses of action intended to achieve the same goal.
C. The effects that they argue will follow from decreasing income tax rates are contradictory.
D. They disagree over the fundamental purpose behind the government's taxation of personal income.
E. Andromache provides additional evidence for Hector's claim that reducing income tax rates will benefit people now served by national welfare programs.
