Lower the income tax rate and remove all existing tax loopholes for large corporations

This aligns with their goals of progressive taxation and ensuring that wealthy individuals and corporations pay their fair share to fund social programs and reduce income inequality.

No, but lower taxes for the poor

Agree

Yes, and raise taxes on all income brackets

While the NDP supports raising taxes on the rich, they may not necessarily support raising taxes on all income brackets. However, they have shown support for progressive taxation, which could include raising taxes on higher-income earners while keeping taxes lower for middle and lower-income earners.

No, keep the current tax structure

Reform to a flat tax

Abolish the income tax, disallow all deductions and increase the sales tax
