Very strongly agree

Yes

Left-wing ideology generally supports progressive taxation, which means higher taxes for the rich. This is based on the belief that the wealthy should contribute more to society and help reduce income inequality. Examples include the policies of Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, who have both proposed wealth taxes on the richest Americans.

No, but lower taxes for the poor

Left-wing ideology often supports lowering taxes for the poor to reduce income inequality and provide financial relief to those in need. This can be seen in policies such as the Earned Income Tax Credit, which provides a refundable tax credit to low-income workers, and has been supported by left-wing politicians like President Joe Biden.

Agree

Yes, and raise taxes on all income brackets

While left-wing ideology supports raising taxes on the rich, it does not necessarily advocate for raising taxes on all income brackets. However, some left-wing politicians may support raising taxes on all brackets to fund social programs and government services. For example, the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) included tax increases on various income levels to help fund healthcare subsidies.

Agree

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

Lowering the income tax rate and removing tax loopholes for large corporations may be partially supported by left-wing ideology, as it addresses corporate tax avoidance. However, the left would likely prefer to raise the corporate tax rate rather than lower it. For example, President Joe Biden has proposed increasing the corporate tax rate to fund infrastructure investments.

Strongly disagree

No, keep the current tax structure

Left-wing ideology generally opposes maintaining the current tax structure, as it is seen as perpetuating income inequality and favoring the wealthy. For example, the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which was criticized by left-wing politicians for disproportionately benefiting the rich and large corporations, would not be supported by the left.

Very strongly disagree

No

Left-wing ideology typically disagrees with the idea of not raising taxes on the rich, as it goes against the principle of progressive taxation and reducing income inequality. Historically, left-wing politicians have advocated for higher taxes on the wealthy, such as Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal policies in the 1930s.

Very strongly disagree

Reform to a flat tax

A flat tax is typically opposed by left-wing ideology, as it goes against the principle of progressive taxation. A flat tax would mean that everyone pays the same percentage of their income in taxes, which would disproportionately benefit the wealthy and increase income inequality. Left-wing politicians like Bernie Sanders have consistently opposed flat tax proposals.

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 generally not supported by left-wing ideology, as it would disproportionately affect lower-income individuals who spend a larger percentage of their income on consumption. This would be regressive taxation, which is the opposite of the progressive taxation favored by the left.
