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.

Lower the income tax rate for those who do not make a lot and remove all existing tax loopholes for large corporations
@8ZSR5NL3yrs3Y
Yes, higher for the rich and lower for middle and low-income citizens, and eliminate all loopholes so that they pay their fair share. Also, use the taxpayer money to fund social programs, infrastructure, etc.
@3GZTJR25yrs5Y
No, lower or remove all taxes for everyone as long as they donate to charities of their choosing between 10%-20% of their net income
@4NJR28J4yrs4Y
I'd keep the current tax structure, but eliminate loopholes for those who make much more than a certain amount.
@3VQV8YS4yrs4Y
Yes, but lower taxes on the poor and middle class. NO MORE GOVERNMENT SPENDING INCREASES!!!
@92JXK3J3yrs3Y
Lower Taxes on the poor and remove existing tax loopholes for large corporations.
@92JXK3J3yrs3Y
No, but stop the rich from exploiting loopholes to avoid taxes. If we are to lower taxes, especially for the poor, the rich must logically pick up some of the slack.
@92JXK3J3yrs3Y
No, but stop the rich from exploiting loopholes to avoid taxes. If we are to lower taxes, especially for the poor, the rich must logically pick up some of the slack, but raising taxes is not the solution. Just ensure that the rich cannot avoid taxes.
@74TQNHB4yrs4Y
Lower taxes for all, but make the rich pay significantly more proportionally than the poor.
@7L2242Z4yrs4Y
Yes, but focus on closing loopholes
@8CDDZW75yrs5Y
No but they should lower the rates for people who are struggling / who are poor. Yet still hold them to have a high responsibility.
@8LG9WPJ4yrs4Y
Yes, Tax rates should be reduced across the board, fewer brackets should be allowed (especially those families making under $100,000 a year), corporate taxes should be competitive with the developed world and deductions (loopholes) should be reduced.
@8RB2K9D4yrs4Y
No, keep the current structure but simplify it.
@8RB2K9D4yrs4Y
Yes, tax whatever percent the upper class or the very rich are and increase penalties for tax evasion.
@8RB2K9D4yrs4Y
No, keep the current tax structure, and simplify the system
@8RB2K9D4yrs4Y
No, keep the current tax structure, as it is already progressive enough, but make it simpler
@8RB2K9D4yrs4Y
No, keep the current tax structure, simplify the system, and tax the churches
@8VPT4L54yrs4Y
tax the one percent at a higher rate but allow the upper middle class to prosper
@8XD6BY63yrs3Y
No, instead change our tax system to a Tax Choice system
@8XD6BY63yrs3Y
Change our tax system to a Tax Choice system
@8XD6BY63yrs3Y
Reform to a tax system where the taxpayer regardless of income pays a low amount however they can choose if they want to spend higher as well as allowing the individual taxpayer decide what they want their money to go towards.
@8XD6BY63yrs3Y
Abolish the income tax and replace it with a consumption tax.
@8XD6BY63yrs3Y
No, instead change our income tax system to a tax choice income tax

Remove all loopholes for large corporations, tax mega churches, and make sure people are paying their fair share.
@924MYCK3yrs3Y
Yes, higher for the rich and lower for middle and low-income citizens, and eliminate loopholes so that they pay their fair share. Also, use the taxpayer money to fund social programs, infrastructure, etc.
