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.

If everyone contributed the same amount there would be no animosity between employees in different roles
@B35MPHB2mos2MO
Any company that shows "record profits" every reporting period, gives bonuses and obscene payouts to their top brass and shareholders should be taxed to maximum levels until they pay liveable wages, have unions, pay into great insurance and retirement plans, etc.
@B3549GF2mos2MO
Yesss! cause little rich billy's need to lose money and stop flexing on the poor with their new porche and IPhone46678753362378459847363674858473 mega mega!
YES those little rich kids need to loose money! and stop flexing on poor people with there new porche!
@9ZHCGXD5mos5MO
Absolutely not, as they would be citizens, how would it even be fair for them to pay higher taxes just because they have more money? All the citizens should pay the same equal taxes.
@9XHYBDN6mos6MO
Yes, but for the ultra-rich only, and lower the income tax for low-income, middle-class, and even upper-middle class.
@9HB5B321yr1Y
yes, and put a limit at 1.5 million dollars, so that any money you get past that amount just goes straight back to the community or a charity that you HAVE to choose.
@9H98GLK1yr1Y
Yes, and i believe that any money you get after the 1.5-million-dollar mark should go straight to the government or community- because nobody needs more money than they can comprehend.
Decrease tax loopholes for major corporations and extremely wealthy individuals.
@9VLL6K67mos7MO
some rich people actually worked for where they are today so increasing the taxes just because their rich is unfair and sometimes some rich people are mean and evil and they need their taxes to be increased, it depends.
@9D8647BConservative2yrs2Y
Freeze the taxes were they are and do not spend more money then the goverment takes in
@99XSG8T2yrs2Y
Yes for family incomes of over $400k
@92TPFLJ3yrs3Y
Yes, and reform the tax law so that corporations only get tax deductions if they provide benefits such as health insurance and employ unionized workers and don't pollute the environment
@8ZFQHDR3yrs3Y
no, but raise taxes for the poor
@8X452LT3yrs3Y
Depends, the rich have more to give but they have also worked hard for what they have
@8VRG8CZ4yrs4Y
No, but give larger incentives to the rich who give back to charities
Yes, but only the very rich. Over $250,000 per year and close all tax loopholes for the rich and for corporations.
@8V3RMNC4yrs4Y
Tax churches, and other religious groups, and remove tax loopholes for large corporations.
@8TMSDPD4yrs4Y
Lower all tax rates and raise the brackets. Increase the Basic Personal Amount to $21,000 and introduce a basic personal income of $26,000
@8T3WX564yrs4Y
I would say if they add more tax to the rich then lower for the poor.
@8SRT75R4yrs4Y
It depends since they probably worked hard just to be rich
@8QD96DP4yrs4Y
Depends on their income and life
@8PKJ2KD4yrs4Y
Yes, but Canada should introduce a wealth tax instead of increasing income tax.
@8PB4H5D4yrs4Y
i would say if your making more than 175,000$ then yes
@8P6K79Z4yrs4Y
There should be a flat percentage with less loopholes Then the rich will pay more anyway
@8L47BR24yrs4Y
they should not raise it but the rich people should give money to people like the poor and the lonely
@97SNZPL2yrs2Y
no why should they pay more they worked hard for there money
@93B2CSQLibertarian3yrs3Y
The tax brackets are fine but I think we need to focus on removing the loopholes for large corporations and make them all pay their share of tax
@8ZJNVP53yrs3Y
establish a maximin wage
@987JCN72yrs2Y
@968QZDM3yrs3Y
I think they should make it a little more , and help middle / low classes out but not by to much at all.
@9D5HV3N2yrs2Y
Every Canadian citizen of voting age should be taxed exactly the same rate.
@9HR86B31yr1Y
Why have income tax when people don't have their accurate canada wide financial access or accounts or is off named but still is connected to them.
