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.

After a set amount of money is made per individual human(not business) example of $300,000 should be taxed at 90%. No one needs that much money in a year.
@B3VGX9M1mo1MO
No, the rich made that money themselves and they already pay taxes so it's fine. They do what they want with the things they make through their sweat and blood. It would be nice if they shared some if they wanted too tho.
@B4SCCHB7 days7D
What’s considered rich? 38% income tax means my raises over 35 years of hard work, feeding the world and loyalty are for someone else. Ridiculous
@9V5X36N 7mos7MO
Corporate taxes should be raised rather than putting higher tax on individuals who are working hard for their money, whether they be high or low income. Massive corporations shouldn't be receiving as many tax breaks as they do, and should have to be more accountable for the large amount of environmental degradation that they're responsible for.
@9RVGGSKConservative9mos9MO
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.
@945L3BV3yrs3Y
Lower taxes for lower tax brackets, tax the rich, and remove all tax loopholes for large corporations.
@93F7X2G3yrs3Y
Taxes should still be in play but they should lower tax pays.
@8Z8MWGF3yrs3Y
Income tax rate is fine but remove the existing loopholes for the rich getting richer
@8Z6P9KQ3yrs3Y
Yes, to a reasonable degree. Rich people aren’t some enemy to target, and shouldn’t be treated like one.
Perhaps a new “rich” tax should be implemented and voted upon by both the rich/poor, to best decide how to utilize those new funds (subsidized housing, groceries, necessities, etc.)
@8Z4R79X3yrs3Y
Raise tax on extreme rich, keep tax rate for Rich middle class and lower class
@8YXSH9P3yrs3Y
Increase for the rich, decrease for the working middle class and no taxes for the poor (below $30 000/yr) lower income tax rate, remove all existing tax loopholes for all corporations
@8Y3QR3B3yrs3Y
Yes and lower tax for low income individuals
@8X79SKN3yrs3Y
No because we are all equal and just because they have more money to give dosent mean they should spend it on taxes if you want you can make sure they all support at least one charity maybe two. But if you want you can lower the tax to the poor because then they have more money to take care of themselfs/family
@8X6K5JV3yrs3Y
be the same but lower for all people
@8VRZPJVNew Democratic4yrs4Y
Yes, and greatly increase the budget for the CRA to go after tax dodgers.
@8VNK3BZ4yrs4Y
Only the super super rich.
@8VMPLDC4yrs4Y
Increase corporate taxation, lower individual taxes (under 200k annual income)
@8VGR93V4yrs4Y
Keep tax rate for rich the same, but eliminate loop holes for ultra rich to avoid taxes. Also impliment a "departing tax" for those who want to move their businesses out of the country for tax reasons
@8VFPDPM4yrs4Y
Taxation is theft. The Government should find it's own way to recieve income.
@8V4XTGV4yrs4Y
Yes raise the tax rate for this making over 200k a year.
@8TV6W8Q4yrs4Y
Tax the rich and lower taxes for low income households
@8SXWSX44yrs4Y
that would all depend on the situation
@8S3LNCZ4yrs4Y
No the rich already pay high taxes on the high end products they buy. They should just close loophole that keep them from hiding their income.
@8RPMRSS4yrs4Y
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
@8QWSJQ84yrs4Y
Corporations, not individuals should be taxed more
@8PCS6PK4yrs4Y
No, but lower taxes for the poor, lower the income tax, and remove existing tax loopholes for large corporations
Only on the richest. As in over 1million a year or something like that.
@8HW4LNL5yrs5Y
If the taxes for not as rich people lower than yes
@8D3Z2WP5yrs5Y
Yes raise for the rich and lower for the poor.
@9BLGW4M2yrs2Y
I think no because they worked there hold life gaining that money making sure there education is good.
@97DGXH82yrs2Y
yes, but lower taxes for the lower income brackets
@8Y2WVZV3yrs3Y
Yes, and remove the loopholes that allow them to avoid paying full tax.
@8K5QB2B5yrs5Y
Yes, raise the taxes for the rich, and lower the taxes for the poor
@95WSYH73yrs3Y
Really rich people don’t pay income tax. So it’s a little pointless. Corporate loopholes need to be assessed, and a method to tax the super rich should be assessed, perhaps a capital tax over a certain limit.
