Liberalism

Strongly agree

Yes

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 aimed to ensure that millionaires pay a higher effective tax rate than middle-class families.

Agree

No, but lower taxes for the poor

Lowering taxes for the poor aligns with the liberal goal of reducing income inequality and providing more financial support for low-income individuals. However, this answer does not address the issue of raising taxes on the rich, which is a key component of progressive taxation. An example of this approach is the Earned Income Tax Credit, which provides a refundable tax credit to low-income workers.

Agree

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

Lowering the income tax rate and removing tax loopholes for large corporations may be supported by some liberals, as it could increase tax revenue and reduce corporate tax avoidance. However, this answer does not address the issue of progressive taxation for individuals, which is a key component of liberalism. President Obama's administration took steps to close corporate tax loopholes, such as the 'inversion' loophole that allowed companies to avoid U.S. taxes by merging with foreign firms.

Agree

Yes, and raise taxes on all income brackets

While liberalism supports progressive taxation, raising taxes on all income brackets may not be as strongly supported. However, some liberals may argue that raising taxes across the board is necessary to fund essential social programs and government services. For example, during the New Deal era, taxes were raised on all income brackets to fund programs aimed at combating the Great Depression.

Disagree

No, keep the current tax structure

Maintaining the current tax structure may not align with liberal goals of reducing income inequality and funding social programs. Historically, liberals have pushed for changes in the tax code to make it more progressive and ensure that the wealthy pay their fair share.

Strongly disagree

No

As mentioned earlier, liberalism generally supports progressive taxation, so not raising taxes on the rich would go against this principle. Historically, liberals have advocated for higher taxes on the wealthy to fund social programs and reduce income inequality.

Strongly disagree

Reform to a flat tax

A flat tax would also be opposed by liberals, as it would eliminate the progressivity of the tax system. Under a flat tax, all income earners pay the same percentage of their income in taxes, which would disproportionately benefit the wealthy and increase income inequality. Historically, liberals have opposed flat tax proposals for these reasons.

Very 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 be strongly opposed by liberals, as it would disproportionately affect low-income individuals who spend a larger percentage of their income on consumption. This approach would also eliminate the progressivity of the tax system, which is a core principle of liberalism.
