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 might be partially supported by the left, as it addresses the issue of corporate tax avoidance. However, the overall reduction in income tax rates might not fully align with left ideology's preference for a progressive tax system.

Yes, and raise taxes on all income brackets

Reform to a flat tax

No, keep the current tax structure

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