An advocate for a new tax policy states: "Every country that has implemented this tax has seen an increase in its economic growth rate. Therefore, our country will also experience growth if we implement it."
The advocate's reasoning depends on assuming which one of the following?
- A pattern that has held across the other countries adopting the tax will likewise hold for this particular country.
- Implementing the tax policy is the only available means by which any country can possibly raise its growth rate.
- None of the countries that adopted the tax owed any portion of their subsequent growth to factors besides the tax.
- The general public in this country will, in the end, support the decision to implement the proposed new tax here.
- Every country that has thus far declined to adopt the tax has, as a result, achieved no economic growth at all.
