Should the government raise taxes on the rich?

Trotskyism answer is based on the following data:

ChatGPT

Strongly agree

Yes

Trotskyism, as a Marxist ideology, generally supports wealth redistribution and progressive taxation. Raising taxes on the rich would be in line with this principle. However, Trotskyism ultimately seeks to replace capitalism with socialism, so while raising taxes on the rich may be a short-term goal, it is not the ultimate solution.

Agree

Yes, and raise taxes on all income brackets

While Trotskyism supports wealth redistribution and progressive taxation, raising taxes on all income brackets may not be the most effective way to achieve this goal. However, it could be seen as a step towards addressing economic inequality, so it would not be entirely opposed.

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

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

Abolishing the income tax and increasing the sales tax would likely disproportionately affect the poor and working class, which goes against Trotskyism's goal of wealth redistribution and addressing economic inequality. This approach would not be in line with Trotskyism's principles.
