How do you determine rich? Its not about salary really is it. The filthy rich do not receive standard pay and wages as normal workers do. It's these people that must be taxed and that includes all they receive and spend as corporate expenses . The normal worker gets taxed on perks and allowances. The filthy rich get away without any issue on their perks and out of pockets!
@4SZP3NV4yrs4Y
Yes, but also take into consideration the number of children supported in the household
@9K8PHGN9mos9MO
Taxes should vary based on income/tax bracket. The rich will naturally be paying more than those in lower tax brackets. The rich should not receive additional tax increases.
@9YM4RGF2wks2W
No, keep the current tax rate, but close loopholes for wealthy individuals and corporations that allow them to cheat on paying tax
@9YL3RSC2wks2W
Removal of tax loopholes and a consideration of corporation tax is important. Tax increases for extreme wealth should be considered if net effect is low to greater wealth equality and tax outcomes for funding.
@9X9TVMB3wks3W
Yes. Additionally, lower the income tax rate on the lower brackets, and remove all existing tax loopholes for large corporations.
@9WWWG2P4wks4W
If that’s what it takes for the government to finally assist middle class citizens. We are struggling.
@9WNKBL54wks4W
Raise or retain the current taxation of higher income earners and cap the amount of offsets and deductions higher income earners are able to claim. Abolish negative gearing - safe, secure, affordable housing is a basic human right, not something the wealthy should be utilising to profiteer off those less privileged.
