Explanation

Income-tax is levied so that every citizen can contribute a share of his earnings towards the infrastructural development of the nation, help government in bringing latest technological development and help in purchasing arms and ammunition. So, argument 1 does not seem strong. Income-tax is no doubt a good source of revenue for the government. Hence, argument II holds strong.
