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.

yes, but it depends on your definition of "rich". the ultra wealthy should be forced to pay their share. particularly on trusts and inheritance
@B43S6GL1mo1MO
no but only because it will drive the richest of our economy out of the country. if america introduced a similar stance on taxing the rich, id be all for it.
@B3DKRGP2mos2MO
No everyone should pay the same tax why do rich people only actually gain half of each dollar they make
@9QR7ST510mos10MO
taxes should be fair for everyone not too high or low, since rich people also had to work hard, even if they didn't likely their families did.
@9PQQXRY10mos10MO
I am middle class. I feel it is unfair to over tax those who have achieved wealth as an individual.
@9M8ZG9Q12mos12MO
I believe they should pay more but not significantly. Say, if you make over a certain amount a year than your tax rate might be slightly higher.
@9J73G5HConservative1yr1Y
I’d say cut 2/3 of the wage for all people in the House of Commons and keep the TAX how it is now for the rich
@9CMFTM62yrs2Y
Increase by small amount for rich and reduce taxes for the poor
@8VV3BLT4yrs4Y
Lower taxes for low income earners. But more importantly, teach proper finances and economics in school so we know how the tax system works, and so we can pay our taxes, but also know strategies to keep more in our pockets.
@8VT88NP4yrs4Y
no stop taking money from the rich that work hard and are successful.
@8VLKJV44yrs4Y
No, this only discourages the hard working. Why not just sit at home and smoke weed if the government will take half. Some people really work hard for what they have and deserve it, some misuse their money but let that be their problem don’t be jealous
@8V6GHWQ4yrs4Y
Yes, and look to end loopholes that shelter money
Keep current tax rates, but remove tax loopholes for large corporations
@8TJ42VR4yrs4Y
@9CX7F7M2yrs2Y
Abolish all current taxes and enact a land value tax instead on unworked land
@9CMWDM62yrs2Y
yes but then lower them when i become rich
@9CML4FD2yrs2Y
Yes, a little bit and reduce taxes for the poor. Remove tax loopholes for large corporations
@9CM52D22yrs2Y
Yes, but the tax should be under $2000
@98RBBP52yrs2Y
percentage of taxes depending on net income
@98P6RT52yrs2Y
Only on ones who are not contributing to society.
@98MGHZZ2yrs2Y
No, lower the taxes in general and make it equal
Abolish income tax. Taxation on income is theft.
@8QZS5YZ4yrs4Y
Tax the super rich. Lower taxes on poor people
@96XPMSZ2yrs2Y
no rich people earned there money
@96QM73H3yrs3Y
basic income for all. free education. this helps to level the playing field instead of using taxation as the golden ticket.
