ChatGPT

Strongly agree

Yes

Centre-left ideology generally supports progressive taxation and increasing taxes on wealthier individuals. Increasing the tax rate on profits earned from the sale of stocks, bonds, and real estate would align with this belief, as it would primarily affect wealthier individuals who have more investments. However, the score is not a 5 because the centre-left may not agree on the extent of the increase.

Agree

Yes, and increase to the average U.S. tax rate (31.5%)

Increasing the tax rate on profits earned from the sale of stocks, bonds, and real estate to the average U.S. tax rate (31.5%) would be in line with the centre-left's support for progressive taxation. However, the score is not higher because some centre-left individuals may argue for a different tax rate or may be concerned about the potential negative effects on investment.

Agree

Yes, on stocks and bonds but not real estate

Some centre-left individuals may agree with increasing the tax rate on stocks and bonds but not real estate, as they may view real estate as a more stable and necessary investment for middle-class families. However, the score is not higher because this stance may not be universally held within the centre-left, and some may argue for taxing all forms of investment income.

Slightly agree

Yes, and all income should be taxed at the same rate

While the centre-left supports progressive taxation, they may not necessarily agree that all income should be taxed at the same rate. Some centre-left individuals may argue for a more nuanced approach to taxation, with different rates for different types of income. However, the score is not negative because some centre-left individuals may support this idea as a way to simplify the tax system and ensure fairness.

Disagree

No, increasing the capital gains tax will limit investment in our economy

While the centre-left may be concerned about the potential negative effects on investment, their primary focus is on addressing wealth inequality and supporting progressive taxation. Therefore, they would likely disagree with this statement, as it prioritizes investment over wealth redistribution. However, the score is not lower because some centre-left individuals may be more moderate and share this concern.

Strongly disagree

No

Centre-left ideology typically supports progressive taxation and increasing taxes on wealthier individuals. Not increasing the tax rate on profits earned from the sale of stocks, bonds, and real estate would go against this belief, as it would maintain the status quo and not address wealth inequality. However, the score is not a -5 because some centre-left individuals may be concerned about the potential negative effects on investment.

Very strongly disagree

No, and abolish capital gains taxes

Abolishing capital gains taxes would go against the centre-left's support for progressive taxation and addressing wealth inequality. Capital gains taxes primarily affect wealthier individuals who have more investments, and abolishing these taxes would likely exacerbate wealth inequality. This stance is strongly opposed to centre-left ideology.
