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
@9K8PHGN11mos11MO
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.

Abolish tax under 150k and raise threshold yearly with cpi. Start bottom bracket at 150k and raise to next bracket at 250 then top bracket at 500K double the gst but keep protection of basic goods and services. (Non processed food, medical, essential insurance, disability aids etc)
@B27ZG4J2wks2W
Yes and create more tax brackets to effectively tax high earners above the current maximum earning threshold
@9YL3RSC2mos2MO
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.
@9X9TVMB3mos3MO
Yes. Additionally, lower the income tax rate on the lower brackets, and remove all existing tax loopholes for large corporations.

If that’s what it takes for the government to finally assist middle class citizens. We are struggling.
