Yes, but keep taxes on the lower and working-class below or equal to 50%
@3J533FF4yrs4Y
Yes, and close existing loopholes that facilitate tax evasion
@8WKT3PP4yrs4Y
Yes, raise taxes on higher income brackets (+150,000 dollars per year), and lower taxes for lower income brackets (-30,000 dollars per year).
@7NMLC8N4yrs4Y
Yes, as they make up a greater percentage of the country’s wealth than the regular citizen, they are responsible for paying back a greater percentage of the country’s wealth than the regular citizen.
@7NMLC8N5yrs5Y
Yes, and instruct the federal judges to actively remove all known loopholes regarding tax payments for wealthy individuals and corporations as they appear after the case has been decided. This both improves our judiciary system while preventing the wealthy from evading their dues.
@7NMLC8N5yrs5Y
Yes, and make it so they can only apply to have their taxes lowered if their overall net worth falters. Even then, as they make up a greater percentage of the country’s wealth than the regular citizen, they are responsible for paying back a greater percentage of the country’s wealth than the regular citizen. This wealth is to fund programs designed to help the poor have the ability to rise to the middle class.
@8DNCRM75yrs5Y
the amount of tax should be the same % for all depending on amount of money made
@8HQ8Y5B5yrs5Y
Taxes should be lowered for the poor and rates should eventually flat line at a certain amount.

They should pay the same tax percentage anyone else has to.
