Liberalism (Modern)

Strongly agree

No, increase taxes on large multinational corporations instead

Modern liberalism often supports increasing taxes on large multinational corporations as a way to fund social programs and reduce income inequality. This approach is seen as a way to ensure that corporations pay their fair share and contribute to the public good. For example, many modern liberals have supported proposals like the corporate tax increases in President Biden's American Jobs Plan.

Agree

No, cuts to public spending will negatively affect the economy

Modern liberalism generally believes that government spending can have a positive impact on the economy, particularly during economic downturns. This is in line with Keynesian economic theory, which argues that government spending can help stimulate demand and reduce unemployment. However, this does not mean that modern liberals are entirely against any cuts to public spending.

Slightly agree

Yes, and increase taxes

Neutral

No, reduce the number of government officials instead

Reducing the number of government officials is not a core tenet of modern liberalism, which generally supports a strong federal government and the expansion of federal agencies to address social and economic issues. However, some modern liberals may support targeted reductions in government bureaucracy as a way to improve efficiency and reduce the national debt.

Neutral

Yes, but by drastically reducing the benefits and salaries of government officials

While some modern liberals may support reducing benefits and salaries for government officials as a way to reduce the national debt, this is not a core tenet of modern liberalism.
