Agree

Yes, and all income should be taxed at the same rate

Some progressives may support the idea of taxing all income at the same rate, as it simplifies the tax system and ensures that the wealthy pay their fair share. However, this position is not universally held among progressives, and some may prefer a more progressive tax system with higher rates for higher incomes.

Agree

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

Increasing the capital gains tax to the average U.S. tax rate aligns with the progressive goal of taxing the wealthy more. However, some progressives may argue for an even higher tax rate or have other specific preferences on how to increase these taxes.

Agree

Yes, on stocks and bonds but not real estate

Strongly disagree

No, increasing the capital gains tax will limit investment in our economy

Very strongly disagree

No, and abolish capital gains taxes

Abolishing capital gains taxes is strongly opposed by progressives, as it would disproportionately benefit the wealthy and reduce government revenue needed for social programs. This position is fundamentally at odds with the progressive goal of reducing income inequality through taxation.
