GMAT考试写作指导:Argument范文十八

发布时间:2016-03-02  编辑:查字典英语网小编

  78. In this editorial the author argues that improvements to existing city services as

  well as new services should be paid for by developers rather than by taxpayers. In

  support of this opinion the author points out that developers can make large profits from

  building projects and that these projects increase the demand for city services and raise

  the citys expenses, I disagree with the authors opinion for two reasons.

  First, the fact that developers stand to make profits from their projects is not a

  good reason to require them to pay more than their fair share of the costs of services. In

  fact, to require them to do this in order to win approval of their projects is tantamount to

  robbery. City officials would find it difficult to justify a policy that endorsed this

  practice. Moreover, the adoption of such a practice would discourage the development

  of new buildings in the city.

  Second, the increase in demand for city services as well as the increase in the

  citys expenses will be most likely offset by the tax revenues these projects generate.

  Consequently, unless the author can demonstrate that the city will incur expenses that

  are not covered by the increased revenues from these projects, the authors concern

  about these issues is unfounded.

  In conclusion. I find the authors reasoning on this issue unconvincing. To

  strengthen the argument the author would have to show that the city would be harmed

  financially by approving new building projects.
