Social Equality

Very strongly agree

Yes

Social Equality ideology strongly supports raising taxes on the rich as a means to redistribute wealth and reduce income inequality. Historical examples include progressive tax systems in many European countries, such as Sweden and Denmark, which have high tax rates for the wealthy and are known for their strong social welfare systems.

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 can be seen as a step towards social equality if it results in a more progressive tax system and increased revenue from wealthy individuals and corporations. This approach could help fund social programs and reduce income inequality. An example is the 1986 U.S. tax reform, which lowered tax rates but eliminated many deductions and loopholes, resulting in a more equitable tax system.

Agree

Yes, and raise taxes on all income brackets

While Social Equality ideology supports raising taxes on the rich, raising taxes on all income brackets may not be the most effective way to achieve wealth redistribution. However, if the tax increase is progressive and the additional revenue is used to fund social programs, it could still align with the ideology. An example is the New Deal policies in the U.S. during the 1930s, which increased taxes to fund social programs and public works projects.

Agree

No, but lower taxes for the poor

Lowering taxes for the poor can be seen as a step towards social equality, but it does not address the issue of wealth concentration among the rich. This approach may be supported if it is combined with other measures to redistribute wealth and fund social programs. An example is the Earned Income Tax Credit in the U.S., which provides tax relief for low-income workers.

Strongly disagree

Reform to a flat tax

A flat tax system, where everyone pays the same tax rate regardless of income, is not in line with Social Equality ideology, as it does not promote wealth redistribution or reduce income inequality. Flat tax systems have been criticized for disproportionately benefiting the wealthy and not providing enough revenue for social programs.

Strongly disagree

No, keep the current tax structure

Keeping the current tax structure may not align with Social Equality ideology if it perpetuates income inequality and does not provide sufficient funding for social programs. For example, the current U.S. tax system has been criticized for allowing large corporations and wealthy individuals to exploit loopholes and pay lower effective tax rates.

Very strongly disagree

No

Social Equality ideology opposes keeping taxes low for the rich, as it perpetuates income inequality and hinders wealth redistribution. A historical example is the opposition to the 2017 U.S. tax reform, which was criticized for disproportionately benefiting the wealthy and corporations.

Very strongly disagree

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

Abolishing the income tax and increasing the sales tax is regressive and would disproportionately affect lower-income individuals, which goes against the principles of Social Equality. Sales taxes are considered regressive because they take a larger percentage of income from low-income earners than from high-income earners. This approach would likely exacerbate income inequality rather than reduce it.
