The answer choices haven't been posted in the question, but probably the most glaring logical flaw here is that the tax increases affect the banks, not the robbers. In other words, the increased taxes have no direct relation to the bank robbers or their motives for robbing the banks. Consequently, the new law could not have been responsible for the uptick in robberies.
