Social Progressivism

Very strongly agree

Yes

Social progressivism generally supports wealth redistribution and reducing income inequality. Raising taxes on the rich is a common policy proposal to achieve these goals. Historical examples include the New Deal policies of President Franklin D. Roosevelt and the Great Society programs of President Lyndon B. Johnson, both of which involved raising taxes on the wealthy to fund social programs.

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 could be seen as a step towards reducing income inequality and ensuring that corporations pay their fair share of taxes. This policy aligns with social progressivism's goals of wealth redistribution and reducing income inequality. However, the score is not as high as answer 1 because it does not explicitly call for raising taxes on the rich.

Agree

Yes, and raise taxes on all income brackets

While social progressivism supports raising taxes on the rich, raising taxes on all income brackets may not be as universally supported. However, if the tax increase is progressive (i.e., higher rates for higher incomes), this policy could still align with social progressivism's goals of wealth redistribution and reducing income inequality. For example, the progressive income tax system in the United States has historically been supported by social progressives.

Agree

No, but lower taxes for the poor

Lowering taxes for the poor aligns with social progressivism's goals of reducing income inequality and providing support for vulnerable populations. However, this answer does not address raising taxes on the rich, which is a key component of wealth redistribution policies supported by social progressives. As such, the score is positive but not as high as answer 1.

Strongly disagree

Reform to a flat tax

A flat tax is generally seen as regressive by social progressives, as it applies the same tax rate to all income levels, disproportionately affecting lower-income individuals. This policy would not align with the goals of wealth redistribution and reducing income inequality that are central to social progressivism.

Strongly disagree

No, keep the current tax structure

Keeping the current tax structure would likely be seen as maintaining the status quo, which social progressives often view as perpetuating income inequality. Social progressives typically advocate for changes to the tax system to reduce wealth disparities, as seen in the New Deal and Great Society programs.

Very strongly disagree

No

Social progressivism is generally opposed to policies that maintain or exacerbate income inequality. Not raising taxes on the rich would likely be seen as perpetuating the current wealth gap. This stance is in opposition to the progressive policies of leaders like FDR and LBJ, who sought to reduce income inequality through taxation and social programs.

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

Abolishing the income tax, disallowing deductions, and increasing the sales tax would likely be seen as regressive by social progressives, as sales taxes disproportionately affect lower-income individuals. This policy would not align with the goals of wealth redistribution and reducing income inequality that are central to social progressivism.
