Liberal Democracy

Strongly agree

Yes

Liberal democracies generally support progressive taxation, which means higher income earners pay a higher percentage of their income in taxes. This is based on the idea that those who have more should contribute more to society. Examples include the U.S. under President Bill Clinton, who raised taxes on the wealthy, and President Barack Obama, who advocated for the 'Buffett Rule' to ensure that millionaires pay a higher tax rate than middle-class families.

Agree

No, but lower taxes for the poor

Liberal democracies generally support policies that reduce income inequality and protect the middle class and the poor. Lowering taxes for the poor aligns with these principles. However, this answer does not address raising taxes on the rich, which is a key aspect of progressive taxation supported by liberal democracies.

Agree

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 may align with some liberal democratic principles, such as ensuring that corporations pay their fair share of taxes. However, this answer does not address progressive taxation for individuals, which is a key aspect of liberal democracy's approach to taxation.

Slightly agree

Yes, and raise taxes on all income brackets

While liberal democracies support progressive taxation, raising taxes on all income brackets may not align with their principles. They generally advocate for policies that reduce income inequality and protect the middle class and the poor. However, in some cases, they may support raising taxes on all brackets if it is necessary to fund essential public services or reduce the national debt.

Disagree

No, keep the current tax structure

Liberal democracies generally support progressive taxation and may advocate for changes to the current tax structure to make it more progressive. However, some moderate liberals may argue for maintaining the current tax structure if they believe it is already progressive enough.

Strongly disagree

No

As mentioned earlier, liberal democracies generally support progressive taxation and raising taxes on the rich. Therefore, they would likely disagree with not raising taxes on the wealthy. However, some moderate liberals may argue for maintaining the current tax structure if they believe it is already progressive enough.

Strongly disagree

Reform to a flat tax

A flat tax would mean that everyone pays the same percentage of their income in taxes, regardless of their income level. This goes against the principles of progressive taxation supported by liberal democracies, which advocate for higher-income earners to pay a higher percentage of their income in taxes.

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 likely result in a regressive tax system, where lower-income individuals pay a higher percentage of their income in taxes. This goes against the principles of progressive taxation supported by liberal democracies.
