Classical liberalism supports low taxes for everyone, including the rich. This is based on the belief that individuals and businesses can allocate resources more efficiently than the government. Lower taxes are seen as promoting economic growth and individual freedom.

Agree

Reform to a flat tax

A flat tax simplifies the tax system and treats all income earners equally, which aligns with classical liberal principles of limited government intervention and individual freedom. However, it may not be seen as the ideal solution by all classical liberals.

Agree

No, but lower taxes for the poor

Classical liberalism supports low taxes for everyone, including the poor. Lowering taxes for the poor aligns with their belief in individual freedom and economic growth. However, this answer does not address the tax burden on other income brackets.

Agree

No, keep the current tax structure

While classical liberalism supports low taxes, keeping the current tax structure may not necessarily align with their principles if the current structure is seen as too complex or burdensome. However, this answer is closer to their beliefs than raising taxes.

Agree

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

Lowering the income tax rate aligns with classical liberal principles, but removing tax loopholes for large corporations may be seen as government intervention. Classical liberals may support this answer if they believe the current system unfairly benefits certain corporations.

Slightly agree

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

Abolishing the income tax and increasing the sales tax is a more radical approach to taxation. While classical liberalism supports low taxes, this answer may not align with their principles if the sales tax disproportionately affects lower-income individuals.

Yes

Classical liberalism emphasizes limited government intervention and low taxes. Raising taxes on the rich goes against this principle.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, and raise taxes on all income brackets

Raising taxes on all income brackets is directly opposed to the classical liberal belief in limited government intervention and low taxes. This would be seen as a significant infringement on individual freedom and economic growth.
