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.

No, I think all the taxes that we pay should all be the same amount that everyone else pays for taxes
@9X9LXM66mos6MO
it doesnt matter what you get payed, you pay the same taxes and live in esentially the same area. people shouldnt be rewarded with lower taxes for making bad choices when they were younger.

Simplify the current tax system by: restructuring the scale to make the 2% and corporations pay more, remove existing loopholes and rebates. Automate tax returns like many countries already do, remove tax based benefits. If you remove all these deductions, rebates, and loopholes that the very rich and corporations most benefit from, then both a fair wage and fair tax rate will be revealed without wasting taxpayer money on processing an unnecessarily complex tax return. There should only be GST on luxury items. There should be some limits on corporate profit or requirements for ratios at which employees must receive higher compensation.

Raise taxes on the poor and lower taxes on the rich. Poor people don't make as much money because they don't contribute as much to society, so we deserve the money they have.

Everyone should be taxed on a percentage based on their work pay.
@8PKSWWG4yrs4Y
Yes by at least 5% and lower taxes for the poor while also closing all existing loopholes for large corporations.
@9C6FHRT2yrs2Y
I think the government should make company's and the rich donate more to social programs to help people
@9C5KRFZ2yrs2Y
The government should raise taxes on assets like boats, art, and aircraft the ultra rich have, rather than personal income.
@9C3JP4R2yrs2Y
Yes, but only for individuals making more than $1 million per year, but reduce taxes for everyone else.
@9BZDRK72yrs2Y
Pay taxes based on how much you’re payed
@9BXZ2MB2yrs2Y
No, but remove tax avoidance strategies
@99886ST2yrs2Y
The taxed amount should still vary depending on the circumstances and position of the individual, however the criteria for who is considered "poor/low income bracket" should be reconsidered and re-evaluated.
@9584BSD3yrs3Y
Yes, but only by a slight percentage
