Hi Dave!
This is a practical way to approach this question-- we are presented with an argument, and asked to choose a potential refutation based on what we know about the author of Passage B. Breaking it down the way you would a logical reasoning weaken sort of question is fine!
Your thinking is on the right track-- Answer Choice B works because it explains that the graduated tax isn't the issue, rather, it is the loopholes that allow high-earners to avoid the graduated taxes. We know that the author of Passage B supports a graduated tax system, and would want to refute the idea that graduated tax systems in and of themselves still result in high-earners paying the same amount as low-earners.
I hope this helps!
