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

This answer aligns closely with economic progressivism's goal of reducing income inequality by ensuring that income from investments is taxed at a rate comparable to wages. By suggesting an increase to the average U.S. tax rate, it implies a desire for a more equitable tax system, which is a core principle of economic progressivism.

Agree

Yes

Economic progressivism generally supports the idea of increasing taxes on wealthier individuals and entities to fund social programs and reduce income inequality. Increasing the tax rate on profits from investments, which are often earned by those with higher incomes, aligns with this ideology. However, the lack of specificity in how these funds are utilized or the impact on investment may lead to a slightly less strong agreement.

Agree

Yes, on stocks and bonds but not real estate
