Should the government raise taxes on the rich?

Lower the income tax rate for lower and middle class and remove all existing tax loopholes for large corporation (and continue to remove loopholes as they are found).

Lower the income tax rate for below 500k household income, raise taxes on total compensation for over 1 million and remove all existing tax loopholes for large corporations

Canada requires a complete review and reform of the entire tax system. Poor and mid earners are overtaxed and corporations are undertaxed. Canadians are tax poor. Restriction on spending by any federal government should be enacted and all spending should be voted on. Diverting taxe revenue to government speanding needs to end. All tax revenue needs to be alloctaed to where the tax is marked to go such as heathcare. Healthcare has had tax revenue dicerity for far too laong and is underfunded becuase of it.

No matter what we do, there will always be away around the taxes

Lower the taxes for the poor and remove tax loopholes for large corporations

I think it depends on the location, property owned, and the community area in which the person lives. I don’t think the taxes should be raised on all rich people, as it should depend on current bills and finances, and if it is affordable for the Canadian government and the family/person(s) who owns it.

We should first make sure the rich are even paying their taxes and then re-evaluate.

Increase tax for anyone making over a million a year.

YES! Wealth tax now

Increasing taxes to the rich is ineffective, should focus on ensuring the people with the most money pay taxes.

Yes, but only for individuals making more then $150k a year or family’s making more then $250k a year

No HST for anyone making under $ 50,000 and close tax loopholes for large corporations and people making over $ 150,000.

no, but close tax loopholes for rich and corporations

I think that taxes should be based on your income as a percentage.

I think if your working harder to get ahead you shouldn't be charged extra because your hard earned money is needed by someone els who possibly isn't trying as hard

No, it’s not necessary. Most rich people have worked hard for their money and they don’t deserve to be punished for that.

Increase property taxes, lower income taxes

I think the ones who work the hardest in the middle class or even rich don't deserve to pay more taxes than someone who collects all their from the government. it's not fair we work hard o they can get free money. I'm not speaking of someone specific just in general.

Yes, and Canada should remove all existing loopholes for large corporations/rich people, and throw the book at entity that commits tax evasion.

Yes, however create a system in which the higher your income you have the higher your income tax is and in the opposite as well, making a system in which stabilizes people who are struggling and makes it equal in the sense that rich people have it easier tax wise.

No, but lower tax rates for middle class and lower class

No, but show efforts to keep jobs in Canada.

Yes, and there should be a limit of how much wealth you are allowed to accumulate (you cannot have a net yearly income of over 1 billion dollars, anything iver 1 billion goes to taxes, no matter how much.)

Yes, and remove all existing tax loopholes for large corporations and track where government funding goes, but put funding towards social programs to help individuals out of the underlying cause of their poverty.

Yes, but we should give them some benefits as well

Seize all assets from high income personnel and redistribute the wealth.

Yes, but keep taxes on the lower and working-class below or equal to 50%

Yes, and close existing loopholes that facilitate tax evasion

Abolish the IRS and raise the corporate tax rate to 55%

I think that if you raise the taxes on the rich, if they have a corporation/company they will raise the prices of products making it harder for poorer people to pay for everyday items, food, birthday presents, etc. I don't really have a distinct opinion for this question.

No just because they are rich taxes should be raised on them they is not equal because you are taken away from them when they work hard for their money.

Switch to a negative income tax system and dramatically reform the welfare system.

Raise taxes on Millionaires and Billionaires to lower the tax burden on the poor or those looking to make an honest living. The Millionaires and Billionaires should still be able to keep a portion of their wealth, but they should not have so much money to do

I simply do not care

Abolish all loopholes and make the rich pay their fair share.

Yes, and close tax loopholes that allow the rich to artificially deflate their earnings.

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

Yes, similar to Chicago’s fair tax all people who make a certain amount should have a tax raise

i think that taxes should only be raised for schools and affordable healthcare

We should just make it the same percentage then there would not be anyfiting about how much people pay and then we wouldn't be taking away more money for the rich and wealthy

Abolish the income tax, have a land value tax instead

Increase taxes on the rich but keep a lower rate for the less fortunate.

The tax should be equal for all classes

I believe that maybe they should, because they can not expect the poor to pay the same amount as the rich.

It depends how rich they are

Tax the rich if you want, but the only tax hikes that matter are establishing commodity and public stock trade fees and raising corporate taxes.
