argument 25
25.The following appeared in a memo from the mayor of the town of Hopewell. "Two years ago, the town of Ocean View built a new municipal golf course and resort hotel. During the past two years, tourism in Ocean View has increased, new businesses have opened there, and Ocean View's tax revenues have risen by 30 percent. The best way to improve Hopewell's economy, and generate additional tax revenues, is to build a golf course and resort hotel similar to those in Ocean View." 两年前Ocean View建造了一个新的市立高尔夫球场和度假旅馆。过去两年中,Ocean View的旅客增加了,开设了很多新的商业,而且税收增加了30%。改Hopewell的经济,产生更多税收的最好途径就是建立一个和Ocean View类似的高尔夫球场和度假旅馆。
过去两年的O地区经济改善这种情况未必能延续下去,即便能延续下去,这种改善状况也未必是由于bulit a new municipal golf course and resort hotel 的原因。即便是由于这个原因对O地区经济带来的极大地促进,这种经济模式也未必能复制到H地区,因为地域差异、政策差异、经济差异等现实原因。
另外,建设这些项目需要较高的成本和维护费,未必能产生预期的利润。 |
