With the passage of the new tax reform law the annual tax burden on low-income taxpayers will be reduced, on average, by anywhere from $100 to $300. Clearly, tax reform is in the interest of low-income taxpayers.
Which one of the following, if true, most undermines the conclusion above?
(A) Tax reform, by simplifying the tax code will save many people the expense of having an accountant do their taxes.
(B) Tax reform, by eliminating tax incentives to build rental housing, will push up rents an average of about $40 per month for low-income taxpayers.
(C) Low-income taxpayers have consistently voted for those political candidates who are strong advocates of tax reform.
(D) The new tax reform laws will permit low and middle-income taxpayers to deduct Child-care expenses from their taxes.
(E) Under the new tax reform laws, many low-income taxpayers who now pay taxes will no Longer be required to do so.

A, D, & E are benefits. C is irrelevant.
B is the answer, IMO.

Answer should be B. All of the other options are strengthening the conclusion. Furthermore, I don't think this is a 600-700 level question. This is more of a sub 600 level question.
