Should the government raise taxes on the rich?

the rich should be treeded like evrey other person that is not as rich as them evryone should be treaed the same in my eyes

Do it reasonably and not take so much money from them as there are enough wealthy individuals in the country that if you do the math if you take a reasonable amount of taxes from all of them, the country would still benefit.

Depends on the perception of the people. If middle income families are forced to go to a single vehicle while multi-Tesla homes are on the rise, the problem could be rooted in corporations willingness to spend budgets on high end items driving up prices out of the reach of the working class. Shareholders that have a large stake in a company tend to also behave like they are rich owners. While they squeeze every dollar out of a corporation, we are subsidizing wages. Taxing the corporations more is a disincentive to invest in Canada, and jobs move to where they are cheapest rather than most eff…  Read moreective. quality goes down and shipping goes up. So consumers spend the same for garbage quality on products they cannot fix themselves or need to pay a subscription fee. Raising or lowering taxes is a political talking point designed to help us ignore the actual problems because taxes do not solve problems.

The rich should be forced to pay their taxes IN GENERAL. There are too many policies that benefit wealthier folk that the middle class and poor individuals with never have access to.

depends if they are contributing to society

More for the rich, less for the poor. Rich people don’t need that much money, while the poor do, the rich can help the poor with their tax money

Decrease tax loopholes for major corporations and extremely wealthy individuals.

yes, however don't make immediate plans relying on taxing the rich as they may leave the country interfering with plans they made relying off tax money from the rich

Increase by small amount for rich and reduce taxes for the poor

Have the same tax rates for everyone and erase existing tax loopholes from the rich.

A little, Don't make the rich too rich but also don't make them poor. Also lower taxes on the poor

No because it’s not fair and it’s not equal

Canada should tax the super-rich

Yes, but only the etremely rich

yes, but depending on how they earned their money and how much of it in question.

Yes, so long as a clear definition of rich is created, and all potential loopholes are closed

Yes, so long as the definition for "rich" individuals is clearly defined, and all potential loopholes are removed.

I think there’s an amount of money that they make and give it to the poor

Reform tax code to tax the rich more efficiently

No. we are all human.

I think they should but it shouldn’t be too drastic; maybe only one to two more percent.

Only for the super rich - billionaires

They should add a new system that taxes corporations CEOs differently then someone working at Tim’s. It needs to be completely re-designed

Yes, but only the ridiculously rich people ; like big corporations owners. Or an alternative could be just paying their workers more

Yes, but on the wealthy (1%) and "rich" should be clearly defined.

I want to say yes but at the same time if I was rich I would say no

I believe the tax rate should be higher for large corporations and remove all existing tax loopholes for those companies.

Yes, but not by a outrageous amount

Yes, but only the very rich. Over $250,000 per year and close all tax loopholes for the rich and for corporations.

Raise taxes on people making over 300k annually, and increase taxes on corporations.

tax wealth

Yes and lower taxes for citizens who make less than $75,000.00 per year.

Tax should be proportional to income more you make more you pay.

Keep taxes the same but tax the top 2% of income earners more

yes, but only on the ultra rich making 500k+ a year

Raise income tax for large corporations

Yes and eliminate all the tax breaks that get around paying tax

Only on those making more than 5 million a year

Raise taxes on the rich as well as close all the legal loopholes that allow corporations to pay almost no tax.

yes but only for the top 1%

Raise taxes on the Rich, lower taxes on the Poor

Increase on the rich and decreased on the poor

Keep current tax rates, but remove tax loopholes for large corporations

I think they should tax the rich at a moderate level because It is not fair for the ones that work harder to pay taxes and take home the same amount as everybody else, I think the rich should get taxed the same amount but the poor should be taxed less.

Simple remove all deductions and loopholes. Zero right offs--then you can adjust the real tax rates for income, property, products and services etc. appropriately

Yes, but we should slowly introduce it and make sure we don't make the tax too high or too low

Yes, but the rich has to be defined more clearly. I would determine rich to be a median household income on $250,000 a year or greater

Higher incomes for top 0.01 not rich but filthy rich

Justice ,The same taxes for rich and poor 🤷🏻‍♀️

Depending on the earnings divided by the earning rate.

yes, only on annual salaries +250k.

does not need to be raised but we need to make sure that the rich are paying their taxes and not abusing loop holes in the system.

high taxes on richer, middle on the middle class and low for the lower income.

Increase a consumption tax

it depends. i don’t know

No one should have billions of dollars... no one needs over ten billion

Major tax reform

People that make over 500,000 a year should be taxed more.

Only on the richest. As in over 1million a year or something like that.

Taxes on the rich are good, however they could tax the top 5% maybe a tad more.

iv heard if you raise taxes on the rich they will leave and take the money. i do believe the rich could pay more but i also vote that if you are given a fine it should be based on how much money you make

Not so easy. We would have to overhaul many parts of the system, and it could affect the economy in lots of ways, so we should be cautious although it does have some truth to it.

Shift all taxes to a land value tax

yes but reasonably, if you earn more then 100,00k then yes, but if you earn lower then that then no.

I honestly am fine either way but I care about the problem.

Yes, but include additional tax brackets

Tax everyone evenly offer deductions for students and new workers who are becoming independents

Yes, but also lower takes on the poor

Yes, but have them pay their reasonably fair share within a larger, sustainable tax system rather than have them pay for everything like Bernie Sanders wants them to, because there's a great risk of the system collapsing altogether if you tax the wealthy way too much.

only the obcenely rich should be taxed heavily, the 1% is too low of a margin for income.

Yes - but I would say to gradually increase taxes on the rich and lower them for the poor. For example, every year, taxes for corporations could increase .2-4% or remove a few tax loopholes.

Yes, but I’m talking about being a extreme millionaire, and ESPECIALLY billionaires. People only having an income difference of 200-300grand should not have their taxes increased, but people like elon musk and jeffrey bezos (total billionares) should absolutely be paying higher taxes.

No, The rich supports potential jobs if we force them to leave with higher taxes. what will happen to the economy?

Yes, but only for those with a personal annual income in excess of two million dollars.

Have a certain percentage of their yearly revenue by a person be taxed.

Modest increase in income tax rate for the rich, eradicate all loopholes the rich or the large corporations may use to circumvent taxes, and reduce income tax rate for the lower and middle class.

Yes, but not as much as it is today

Yes, by introducing more tax brackets

Yes, but by introducing more tax brackets

No, but the taxes on luxury items should be raised

Yes, but they should be taxed based on pay.

Yes, but this is not an "end-all, be-all" solution which Bernie Sanders thinks it is. There needs to be multiple streams of revenue that work and help sustain government programs rather than one group being taxed more heavily than another.

raise taxes on single mothers and poor people

Increase taxes on the rich and on derivatives trading, and lower taxes on the poor and middle class. Give tax credits to newlywed couples and increase the first time homebuyers and childcare benefit.
