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.

that would be unfair, so I would say no. because it should be their choose too and they most likely did something to earn that money. if they feel the need to give to the poor or donate that will be on their own accord.
@9K3Q4DY1yr1Y
I feel that the rich should be taxed for things that would support the future in our world. Such as homeless shelters, renewable energy, and money towards researching climate change. As well as donating money so 3rd world countries can have real meals.
@9GNXXXT1yr1Y
There are agreements, as well as other things we have signed which might get in the way of this, but we should have a progressive tax system depending on different factors as to how people pay different amounts.
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
Only for the super rich - billionaires
@8SKBN544yrs4Y
The rich don’t pay tax. Need to increase financial literacy. This question is foolish. Increase taxes for rich only ever affects the less fortunate
@angiepin4yrs4Y
Yes, and tax everything over $999,999,999 at 100%
@8FTG5KJ5yrs5Y
Yes, in general. Remove loopholes for deductions, offshoring etc
@99K3PVR2yrs2Y
we either abolish income tax, tax poorer families/citizens less, or tax the rich more and or fairly.
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.
@97QQ88F2yrs2Y
raise the tax on the poor
@96Z72XK2yrs2Y
Spend less or more intelligently. The 'rich' are a small amount of Canadians and their income tax is negligible.
@95DH7PG3yrs3Y
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.
