Should the government raise taxes on the rich?

Yes, the more money you make, the more taxes you should pay to make up for people unable to pay such high taxes with a low income. So poor people should have lowered taxes and richer people should have higher taxes.

depending on how much the eprson make a year, should be the reason for how high or how lower their taxes

All the individuals should get an equal rights. Government can't raise the taxes for rich and decrease the rate for poor because to maintain country's economy balance; there should be equality.

I’d say cut 2/3 of the wage for all people in the House of Commons and keep the TAX how it is now for the rich

When it comes to really rich people who get out of paying tax or paying little to no tax I think that they should also pay

The tax brackets need to be adjusted to reflect current economic times and inflation rates, high income earners should be taxed accordingly however middle class earners are taxed beyond their means in most Cases.

It is probably more equitable to have a graduated income tax rate based on earnings. The problem with this is the wealthiest earners have access to an array of accountants, lawyers and financial advisors, and are able thus to avoid taxes and the equitable amount of tax they should pay.

no, but they should remove all existing tax loopholes for large corporations.

I don’t think the Canadian government should raise taxes on the rich but rather take away all the ways that rich people can get away with tax breaks.

Remove all taxes and make Canada a tax heaven for the rich of the world and any big foreign business will want to invest in canda

The government should implement a tax system which rewards hard work. But also make sure that the government has enough money to operate. Also the government should have a fairer tax system that makes people who are in the top 1% of income brackets who pay no taxes, pay their fair share.

Reform tax at all levels. Find new ways for the government to generate revenue other than heavily taxing the citizen

Add a slight increase for the rich. For the corporations, no increase as they will just increase prices, shipping or other fees, or could use tax havens to escape the increased taxes.

A lot of rich people are aware or potential tax evading mechanics. I suggest that the government changes the way they tax rich people and raising the taxes. In Canada, rich people are being tax properly based on the % that they earn.

Everyone should be taxed on a percentage based on their work pay.

It depends. Some people just get there parents money and have barely any taxes to pay, but other people are working hard for their money and don't deserve to be taxed as heavily.

A percent tax already means the rich contribute more to taxes. The taxes are so high for the rich people will stop working hard to improve industry if you take away the financial incentives. That’s why the communists tend to starve to death.

Reform federal tax to flat rate and lower it for all

Reform to a flat tax percentage, with grants given to the poor.

No, but close loopholes for the rich to avoid paying taxes

Taxing has gotten completely out of hand at all levels of government. It has to be brought back in line to be affordable to the people and to close loopholes for the well to do and businesses. Flat based on income with reasonable deductions. Better control of government spending.

No tax change and enforce existing tax rules better

No, why are you taxing the rich, they work the hardest for what they have , take away something from someone who’s worked there whole life

Definitely but only raise a bit more and lower taxes for the poor

Tax people's assets, not their income

I think that the government should no raise taxes on the rich but instead take a stricter stance to make sure they are taxed.

What would you specify as rich?

Ultra Rich

Rich, needs to be defined. Also, the tax brackets need to be reevaluated regularly to look at inflation rates, and cost of living.

Yes, create more income brackets

Lower taxes for the poor to keep more money in their pockets, increase for the rich by a reasonable amount, but keep incentives for small and medium size businesses. Eliminate loopholes for large businesses but they are still important so keep certain incentives for large businesses too that are only available when meeting certain environmental requirements and Canadian employment requirements.

It doesn’t matter the rich worked for it

Yes, however it should not be raised to the point where companies and corporations will leave the country.

In a sense, tax should be based on networth

No, but do something about tax shelters

Get rid of the Income Tax and lower taxes on the middle class

No they should not as the tax brackets are already high enough in Canada and with out the rich the middle and lower-class will not have jobs

No, If we keep adding taxes to the rich they'll leave and put their money in other places. Raising min wage doesn't help. There are now only poor and rich no middle classes. We need the middle classes back

i fell like there shod be only 2 takbratis so then evonne is epwol

Our governments are too lenient on their more wealthy citizens and they need to step in and make sure that all citizen's pay for public services. The Wealthy class expect access to public services yet they refuse to pay for them. If I were in the position to solve this I would implicate a fixed tax rate for all people regardless on class and would also crack down on policies and laws that allow the rich to create loopholes through our tax system.
