Democratic Liberalism

Very strongly agree

Yes

Democratic liberalism generally supports progressive taxation, which means higher income earners pay a higher percentage of their income in taxes. This is based on the belief that the rich can afford to contribute more to society and that it helps reduce income inequality. Examples include President Obama's push for the 'Buffett Rule,' which would have imposed a minimum tax rate on high-income earners, and President Biden's proposal to raise the top income tax rate.

Strongly agree

Lower the income tax rate and remove all existing tax loopholes for large corporations

Democratic liberalism supports closing tax loopholes that benefit large corporations and ensuring that they pay their fair share in taxes. Lowering the income tax rate while removing loopholes could potentially make the tax system more efficient and fair. However, this answer does not specifically address raising taxes on the rich, which is a key component of Democratic liberalism's progressive taxation stance.

Agree

No, but lower taxes for the poor

Democratic liberalism supports policies that reduce income inequality and help lower-income individuals. Lowering taxes for the poor can be one such policy. However, this answer does not address raising taxes on the rich, which is a key component of Democratic liberalism's progressive taxation stance.

Agree

Yes, and raise taxes on all income brackets

While Democratic liberalism supports raising taxes on the rich, it does not necessarily advocate for raising taxes on all income brackets. However, there have been instances where Democratic lawmakers have supported broad tax increases to fund specific programs or address budget deficits, such as President Clinton's 1993 budget plan.

Disagree

No, keep the current tax structure

Democratic liberalism generally seeks to reform the tax system to make it more progressive and reduce income inequality. Keeping the current tax structure would not align with these goals, especially if the current structure is seen as favoring the wealthy or large corporations. However, some Democratic liberals may be more moderate and prefer to maintain the current tax structure if they believe it is already progressive enough.

Strongly disagree

Reform to a flat tax

A flat tax would apply the same tax rate to all income levels, which goes against the progressive taxation principles of Democratic liberalism. Flat taxes are generally seen as benefiting the wealthy and increasing income inequality, which is contrary to the goals of Democratic liberalism.

Strongly disagree

Abolish the income tax, disallow all deductions and increase the sales tax

Abolishing the income tax and increasing the sales tax would likely result in a regressive tax system, where lower-income individuals pay a higher percentage of their income in taxes. This goes against the principles of Democratic liberalism, which supports progressive taxation and reducing income inequality.
