Should the government raise taxes on the rich?
The top income tax bracket in Australia includes all incomes over $181,000 and is taxed between 30.3% and 45%. Individuals making $180,000 are taxed $65,000 plus $.45 for each $1 earned over $180,000. An individual making more than $500,000 would pay a tax rate of 59% in Australia, 57% in the UK, 60% in the US and 73% in Brazil.

How do you determine rich? Its not about salary really is it. The filthy rich do not receive standard pay and wages as normal workers do. It's these people that must be taxed and that includes all they receive and spend as corporate expenses . The normal worker gets taxed on perks and allowances. The filthy rich get away without any issue on their perks and out of pockets!
@4SZP3NV3yrs3Y
Yes, but also take into consideration the number of children supported in the household
@8JKW6L33yrs3Y
Yes, but only for people who inherited their wealth
Higher tax on the super rich and multi national corporations
@9L29TYZ1wk1W
Have a flat tax rate on business turnover, not profit. Have a flat rate on income tax with no deductions allowed. Reduce tax rate to around 10% to analyse needed tax rate.
everyone should pay their fair share of taxation higher incomes should pay more tax then a lower income earner but no one should and will pay more the there fair share.
raise the tax's on the top income bracket and move that money to funding domestic polices and to decreasing our national debt
@9K8PHGN1mo1MO
Taxes should vary based on income/tax bracket. The rich will naturally be paying more than those in lower tax brackets. The rich should not receive additional tax increases.

@987BL561yr1Y
Establish an agreed poverty line and make it illegal for any government to tax a person who lives below this poverty line. Establish an agreed affluence line above which a person clearly has “more than enough” and remove the right to reduce ones taxable income over and above this line. Flatten the tax rate only after these first 2 steps have been completed.

The governments should maintain the same rates of taxation but remove the tax loop holes that are currently abused. As well as to ensure companies pay appropriate tax, potentially even raising it
@9353BBF2yrs2Y
Taxes should be tiered, and equivalent to the amount of income and assets one has, with close monitoring for tax evasion/system loopholes for the wealthy to exploit.
