If the country' s income taxes are decreased, the country' s economy will not be strengthened, because many of the country' s public employees would become unemployed, thereby further weakening the country' s economy. The pattern of reasoning in the argument above is most similar to that in which one of the following arguments? ['A decrease in taxes on businesses will strengthen the economy because it will encourage businesses to expand employment opportunities, even though many workers will not qualify for the new opportunities.', 'An increase in interest rates will not increase the number of jobs, because increased interest rates will put many companies out of business, and this result will decrease the number of jobs.', 'If both government spending and income taxes are decreased, growth in private businesses might occur, because people will have more money to invest, but decreases in both spending and taxes are unlikely.', "Tax incentives will lure new businesses to the region, thereby increasing the region's employment, but even if no tax incentives are offered, employment in the region is likely to increase."]
