Should Canada raise taxes on the rich?
Australia currently has a progressive tax system whereby high income earners pay a higher percentage of tax than low income tax. A more progressive income tax system has been proposed as a tool towards reducing wealth inequality.

I think removing tax loopholes would be a better route, that being said, I think taxations in Canada is too high and we should cut it significantly across all income brackets and lower bureaucratic spending
@9WTX47X6mos6MO
Yes, but lower the income tax rate for middle and working class citizens and remove all existing tax loopholes for large corporations
@93KS3GS3yrs3Y
Yes, but the government should focus more on closing tax loopholes for large corporations and the ultra-rich.
@8YXLXKC3yrs3Y
They should do what Oregon State does and remove taxes :thumbsup:
@8X6L4RS3yrs3Y
A bit but if people work hard for their money it shouldn’t just be taken away from them
@8VT8Z694yrs4Y
No, they should abolish taxes that were used to conserve money for years old war efforts.
@8VQGYWX4yrs4Y
Yes, and lower taxes for families under $100K annual income.
@8VLKD3Z4yrs4Y
Taxation is theft, If we have taxes it should ONLY be for the most important of things to the canadian people, and We the People shpuld have a major say into where our Tax ends up as indavidual choice.
@8TY2YD24yrs4Y
Lower the income tax rate and remove all existing tax loopholes while lowering the taxes for the poor
@8SCWFQW4yrs4Y
Hell yes and increase it each year
Yes, the minimum tax should be 50% of what they make
@8Q96VKD4yrs4Y
Raise taxes on the rich in such a way that does not encourage moving of their wealth to other countries (e.g. increase tax on luxury goods as opposed to income)
@8G5PZTWConservative5yrs5Y
Only subsidize businesses teaching poor people skills and making environmentally friendly decisions. Cut other subsidies and welfare for overall economic freedom.
@9C7ZMY7Conservative2yrs2Y
I think taxes should be lowered. The taxes should increase by a percentage that makes sense with income
@9C7B79Y2yrs2Y
Canada should raise taxes for extravagant purchasing and spending. We should promote wealth development, not punish it.
Yes, but only for those with a personal annual income in excess of two million dollars.
@96858V63yrs3Y
No, but close possible loop holes that the rich use. And define rich.
@9586ZCPRhinoceros3yrs3Y
raise taxes on single mothers and poor people
@8VVB8DW4yrs4Y
