Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Eliminating double-taxation, such as on dividends or capital gains, would likely encourage more saving and investment by reducing the tax burden on income from investments. However, since people with higher incomes are more likely to have significant investments, they would primarily benefit from such a change.
