Slightly agree

No

Authoritarian regimes might oppose raising taxes on the rich if those individuals are part of the regime's support base or if the regime itself benefits from the wealth of the elite. Keeping the rich untaxed or lightly taxed can be a strategy to maintain loyalty and financial support.

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 way to stimulate economic growth and increase state revenues through other means, which might be appealing to some authoritarian regimes. However, this approach could also reduce the regime's control over large corporations, making it a less favored option.

Neutral

No, but lower taxes for the poor

Lowering taxes for the poor could be seen as a way to garner public support and maintain social stability, which is often a concern for authoritarian regimes. However, this stance would depend on the regime's economic policies and priorities.

Slightly disagree

Reform to a flat tax

Slightly disagree

Yes, and raise taxes on all income brackets

While authoritarian ideologies might favor centralized control and could see benefits in raising taxes across all income brackets for broader state control, they may also be wary of the potential for widespread discontent this could cause, especially among the middle class and poor.

Disagree

Yes

Authoritarian ideologies might support raising taxes on the rich if it aligns with their goals of state control and redistribution. However, this support is not guaranteed and depends on the specific nature of the authoritarian regime. Some might prefer to maintain the wealth of the elite if it supports their governance.

Disagree

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

Abolishing the income tax and increasing the sales tax could disproportionately affect the lower and middle classes, which might not align with an authoritarian regime's need to maintain public order and support, unless the regime specifically aims to weaken these societal segments.
