Should Portugal 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.

Lower income tax rate on the poor and remove existing tax loopholes for large corporations to offer competitive value for local value-adding companies.
@8VKRCQW3yrs3Y
Replace most taxes with a tax on the unimproved rental value of land.
@8SW8RGB4yrs4Y
No, lower income taxes yet remove tax loopholes for large corporations
Deleted4yrs4Y
No, people should not be forced to pay a higher percentage of their wages just because they earn more.
Deleted3yrs3Y
No, keep current rates for the rich but reduce taxes also on low and middle-income citizens
@8PYMW624yrs4Y
Taxes should be lowered and raised based off of American wellbeing. Yes there should be taxes for the wealthy but it should not be unreasonable. It will hurt those who are trying to accumulate.
Deleted3yrs3Y
No, we should reduce current rates and then reform to a flat tax, so individuals and businesses pay the same rate regardless of income and other factors, but at least lower taxes for middle and low-income individuals and eliminate all tax loopholes for the rich and large corporations.
@ThomasJ4763yrs3Y
Lower the income tax rate for those who do not make a lot and remove all existing tax loopholes for large corporations
Deleted3yrs3Y

@8YY8VD83yrs3Y
No, Abolish the income tax.

Deleted3yrs3Y

@9334YP33yrs3Y
No, taxation is theft and should be abolished entirely for all US citizens.
Deleted2yrs2Y
No, reform to a flat tax, abolish all taxes except sales tax, and require payment/ tolls for use of federal services to make them self sustainable (roads, parks, postage, etc.). Tax collection funds services that can't charge (law enforcement, military, congress, etc.)
@8LWFHFX4yrs4Y
Abolish the income tax (a disincentive to productivity), and raise property tax to full rental value (guaranteeing land as a public good and incentivizing productive use of the land).
Deleted2yrs2Y
Abolish the income tax, replace all federal taxes with a single LVT
@Blakers84313yrs3Y
No, Abolish Property taxes and lower state and federal income taxes
Deleted3yrs3Y
No, we should reduce current rates and then reform to a flat tax, so individuals and businesses pay the same rate regardless of income, but at least lower taxes for middle and low-income individuals and eliminate all tax loopholes for the rich and large corporations.
@93ZP8QG2yrs2Y
Yes, but simply to ensure that the wealthy pay their fair share. It is absurd that major corporations, such as Amazon and Walmart, pay no or little federal income taxes, while the average American foots the bill. All existing tax loopholes for large corporations should be closed. This would generate sufficient revenue to fund education, healthcare, and social programs such as increased student loan forgiveness, paid family leave, and universal Pre-K.
@4NJR28J4yrs4Y
I'd keep the current tax structure, but eliminate loopholes for those who make much more than a certain amount.
@3GZTJR24yrs4Y
No, lower or remove all taxes for everyone as long as they donate to charities of their choosing between 10%-20% of their net income

@3QH7LMP4yrs4Y
Abolish the income tax and replace with nothing.

@8J2VLZL4yrs4Y
Yes, but not excessively. The rich should not have a tax rate less than highest tax rate applied to the rest of the population. Also eliminate tax loopholes for corporations.
Deleted3yrs3Y

Abolish the IRS and raise the corporate tax rate to 55%
@8Q9PRKM4yrs4Y
I think that if you raise the taxes on the rich, if they have a corporation/company they will raise the prices of products making it harder for poorer people to pay for everyday items, food, birthday presents, etc. I don't really have a distinct opinion for this question.
@heatherdvdprincess4yrs4Y
Reform to a flat tax, or a flat tax for income after poverty level, and raise poverty level to the amount of money needed for a reasonable standard of living.

@heatherdvdprincess2yrs2Y
Reform to a flat tax, or a flat tax for income after poverty level, and raise poverty level to the amount of money needed for a reasonable standard of living for someone with average financial literacy.
Teach financial literacy in school. The lowest income I can consistently find people online living comfortably with is $7k, with some DIY skills.
@8QLPMBH4yrs4Y
No just because they are rich taxes should be raised on them they is not equal because you are taken away from them when they work hard for their money.

Only on individuals in the 9 figure category and above. Continue the progressive tax system start at 40% and work up to 50%. Lower income taxes on 6 and 5 figure individuals and no income taxes for anyone considered to be in poverty. Increase sales taxes all around and allow expensive items for the poor.
