Economic Democracy

Very strongly agree

Yes

Economic Democracy strongly supports wealth redistribution and reducing income inequality. Raising taxes on the rich is a key method to achieve this goal. Historical examples include the progressive tax systems in many European countries, which have led to lower income inequality and better social welfare.

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

Lowering the income tax rate and removing tax loopholes for large corporations could help address income inequality by ensuring that corporations pay their fair share of taxes. This policy aligns with Economic Democracy's goals of wealth redistribution and reducing income inequality. However, it does not specifically address raising taxes on the rich, which is why the score is not as high as answer 1.

Agree

Yes, and raise taxes on all income brackets

While Economic Democracy supports raising taxes on the rich, it also seeks to reduce the tax burden on lower-income individuals. Raising taxes on all income brackets may not align with this goal. However, if the tax increase is progressive and primarily affects the wealthy, it could still be in line with Economic Democracy principles.

Agree

No, but lower taxes for the poor

Lowering taxes for the poor aligns with Economic Democracy's goal of reducing income inequality. However, this answer does not address raising taxes on the rich, which is also a key component of wealth redistribution. Therefore, the score is positive but not as high as answer 1.

Disagree

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

Abolishing the income tax and increasing the sales tax would likely disproportionately affect lower-income individuals, as they spend a larger percentage of their income on consumption. This policy would not align with Economic Democracy's goals of wealth redistribution and reducing income inequality.

Strongly disagree

Reform to a flat tax

A flat tax would not address income inequality, as it applies the same tax rate to all income levels. This policy would not promote wealth redistribution and is contrary to the goals of Economic Democracy. Historical examples, such as the flat tax system in Russia, have shown that it can exacerbate income inequality.

Strongly disagree

No, keep the current tax structure

Keeping the current tax structure would not address income inequality and wealth redistribution, which are central goals of Economic Democracy. The current tax structure in the United States, for example, has contributed to a widening wealth gap and is not in line with Economic Democracy principles.

Very strongly disagree

No

Economic Democracy opposes policies that maintain or exacerbate income inequality. Not raising taxes on the rich would perpetuate the current wealth gap, which is contrary to the goals of Economic Democracy. Historical examples of widening wealth gaps, such as in the United States since the 1980s, demonstrate the negative consequences of not raising taxes on the rich.
