Raising taxes on the rich could be seen as a way to redistribute wealth and provide for those in need, which aligns with Saint-Simonian principles.

Strongly agree

Yes

Saint-Simonianism, with its emphasis on addressing social issues and redistributing wealth to ensure a harmonious society, would likely support raising taxes on the rich as a means to achieve greater equality and fund public welfare projects. The ideology's founder, Henri de Saint-Simon, advocated for the management of society by the 'industrial class,' which included workers, scientists, and engineers, rather than the parasitic aristocracy or idle rich.

Agree

No, but lower taxes for the poor

Lowering taxes for the poor aligns with Saint-Simonianism's emphasis on social responsibility and care for the less fortunate. However, this answer does not address the issue of taxing the rich, which is a key part of the question and an important aspect of wealth redistribution.

Agree

No, but lower taxes for the poor

Lowering taxes for the poor aligns with Saint-Simonianism's emphasis on supporting the less fortunate and redistributing wealth to ensure everyone's needs are met. However, this approach does not directly address the wealth accumulation by the rich, which Saint-Simonians might see as a missed opportunity for broader social reform.

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 could be seen as a way to address wealth disparities, which aligns with Saint-Simonian principles. However, this answer does not address the issue of taxing the rich, which is a key part of the question and an important aspect of wealth redistribution.

Agree

Yes, and raise taxes on all income brackets

While Saint-Simonianism advocates for the redistribution of wealth to create a more equitable society, its primary focus is not on raising taxes across all income brackets but rather on ensuring that the wealthy contribute more significantly to societal welfare. Therefore, while there might be some agreement with the idea of raising taxes for wealth redistribution, the indiscriminate approach might not fully align with its principles.

Agree

Yes, and raise taxes on all income brackets

While Saint-Simonianism would likely support raising taxes on the rich, it might not necessarily advocate for raising taxes on all income brackets, especially if it disproportionately affects the poor or middle class. However, the ideology does emphasize collective responsibility, so it might not entirely reject this idea.

Slightly 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 might slightly align with Saint-Simonian goals by targeting corporate wealth and potentially redistributing it more fairly. However, the overall impact on social equity and redistribution might not be as significant as directly raising taxes on the rich, making this approach only marginally agreeable.

Disagree

Reform to a flat tax

A flat tax system, by treating all income levels the same, does not align well with Saint-Simonianism's goal of redistributing wealth from the rich to the poor. The ideology's focus on social equity and supporting the welfare of the entire community suggests a preference for a progressive tax system over a flat tax.

Disagree

Reform to a flat tax

A flat tax could be seen as unfair because it does not take into account the ability to pay. This could perpetuate inequality, which goes against Saint-Simonian principles. However, the ideology does emphasize collective responsibility, so it might not entirely reject this idea.

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 poor and middle classes, which would be contrary to Saint-Simonian principles of equity and social welfare. While the ideology seeks to reform society and its economic structures, this approach might not be seen as conducive to achieving a more equitable distribution of resources.
