Strongly agree

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

Left-wing populism supports closing tax loopholes for large corporations and ensuring they pay their fair share. However, they may not agree with lowering the income tax rate, as they generally advocate for higher taxes on the wealthy and corporations to fund social programs. This answer aligns with their goals but may not go far enough in raising revenue.

Agree

No, but lower taxes for the poor

While left-wing populism primarily focuses on raising taxes on the rich, they also support policies that alleviate the tax burden on the poor. However, this answer does not address their primary goal of increasing taxes on the wealthy, so it receives a lower score.

Agree

Yes, and raise taxes on all income brackets

While left-wing populism supports raising taxes on the rich, they generally do not advocate for raising taxes on all income brackets. However, they may support raising taxes on higher-income earners to fund social programs. For example, Bernie Sanders has proposed raising taxes on those making over $250,000 per year.

Very strongly disagree

No

Left-wing populism opposes policies that maintain or exacerbate income inequality. Not raising taxes on the rich goes against their core belief in wealth redistribution and social justice. This is evident in their opposition to the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which they argue disproportionately benefits the wealthy.

Very strongly disagree

Reform to a flat tax

A flat tax would apply the same tax rate to all income levels, which left-wing populism opposes as it would disproportionately benefit the wealthy. They argue that a progressive tax system, where higher-income earners pay a higher percentage of their income in taxes, is necessary to address income inequality and fund social programs.

Very strongly disagree

No, keep the current tax structure

Left-wing populism seeks to change the current tax structure, which they believe disproportionately benefits the wealthy and large corporations. They argue that the current system exacerbates income inequality and underfunds social programs. Their opposition to the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is an example of their desire for change.

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 disproportionately affect lower-income individuals, as they spend a larger percentage of their income on consumption. This goes against left-wing populism's goal of reducing income inequality and promoting social justice.
