Liberalism (Modern)

Strongly agree

Yes

Modern liberalism generally supports progressive taxation, which means higher income earners pay a higher percentage of their income in taxes. This is based on the belief that the rich can afford to contribute more to society and that it helps reduce income inequality. Examples include President Obama's support for the 'Buffett Rule,' which aimed to ensure that millionaires pay a higher effective tax rate than middle-class families.

Agree

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

Modern liberalism supports closing tax loopholes that benefit large corporations and ensuring that they pay their fair share of taxes. However, this answer also includes lowering the income tax rate, which may not align with the modern liberal goal of progressive taxation. Therefore, the score is positive but not as high as it would be for a more comprehensive progressive tax reform proposal.

Agree

No, but lower taxes for the poor

Modern liberalism supports policies that benefit lower-income earners, so they may agree with lowering taxes for the poor. However, this answer does not address the issue of raising taxes on the rich, which is a key component of modern liberal tax policy. Therefore, the score is not as high as it would be for a more comprehensive progressive tax reform proposal.

Neutral

Yes, and raise taxes on all income brackets

While modern liberalism supports raising taxes on the rich, they may not necessarily agree with raising taxes on all income brackets. This is because they generally advocate for policies that benefit the middle class and lower-income earners, such as tax credits and deductions. However, some liberals may support raising taxes on all brackets if it is part of a broader tax reform plan that ultimately benefits lower-income earners.

Disagree

No, keep the current tax structure

Modern liberalism generally seeks to reform the current tax structure to make it more progressive and equitable. They often argue that the current tax system disproportionately benefits the wealthy and large corporations. Therefore, they would likely disagree with keeping the current tax structure as is.

Strongly disagree

No

Modern liberalism typically disagrees with the idea of not raising taxes on the rich, as they believe in progressive taxation and reducing income inequality. Historically, liberal politicians have advocated for higher taxes on the wealthy, such as President Clinton's 1993 tax increase on high-income earners.

Strongly disagree

Reform to a flat tax

A flat tax is a regressive tax policy, as it applies the same tax rate to all income levels. Modern liberalism generally opposes regressive taxation and supports progressive taxation, which requires higher-income earners to pay a higher percentage of their income in taxes. A flat tax would likely increase income inequality, which is contrary to modern liberal goals.

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 a regressive tax policy, which modern liberalism generally opposes. Regressive taxes disproportionately burden lower-income earners, as they spend a larger percentage of their income on consumption. This policy would likely exacerbate income inequality, which is contrary to modern liberal goals.
