Reading the passage
The final paragraph tells us that even the most conservative politician accepts tax spending on programs that greatly benefit society, despite not being necessary to the state's survival. That's the agreement we're looking for. Don't give all politicians every other view the writer goes on to argue for.
Working the answers
- ACorrect
“Tax money is rightly spent” means the spending is legitimate, and “of great benefit to society” supplies the national good. A says certain programs, so it doesn't require agreement about every program.
- B
Quelling civil disorders is one of the writer's examples. We're not told all politicians agree about using the military for it.
- C
The writer compares conscription with taxation. That comparison isn't attributed to all politicians.
- D
Broadening need is the writer's next argumentative move. Accepting some beneficial tax spending isn't the same as explicitly agreeing that this definition must be broadened.
- E
This turns a specific agreement about funding into agreement about compulsion generally. That's the larger issue the writer is trying to resolve, not what the sentence about politicians establishes.
