medium · LSAT Logical Reasoning
A politician declares: "Voters in this district care deeply about education. It follows that every single person in this district wants the proposed new school tax to pass."
The reasoning in the politician's argument is most vulnerable to criticism on the grounds that it:
- presumes that education matters more to district voters than competing concerns such as public safety or transit
- takes for granted that levying new taxes is the only available way to fund the district's schools at all
- assumes that valuing a general aim guarantees unanimous support for one particular means of pursuing it
- neglects to state how much the proposed school tax would actually cost the typical household each year
- treats the loud views of a few vocal residents as fairly representative of the entire district's electorate
