Economic Egalitarianism

Very strongly agree

Yes

Economic Egalitarianism seeks to reduce income inequality and promote a more equitable distribution of wealth. Raising taxes on the rich is a key policy in achieving this goal, as it helps redistribute wealth from the top earners to fund social programs and services that benefit the less fortunate. Historical examples include progressive tax systems in many European countries, such as Sweden and Denmark, which have helped reduce income inequality and provide a strong social safety net.

Agree

Yes, and raise taxes on all income brackets

While Economic Egalitarianism would agree with raising taxes on the rich, raising taxes on all income brackets may not be the most effective way to reduce income inequality. However, if the tax increase is progressive, meaning that the tax rate increases as income increases, it could still align with the goals of Economic Egalitarianism. This approach has been used in countries like Finland and Norway, where progressive tax systems have helped reduce income inequality.

Agree

No, but lower taxes for the poor

Lowering taxes for the poor aligns with the goals of Economic Egalitarianism, as it can help reduce the financial burden on low-income individuals and families. However, this answer does not address the need to raise taxes on the rich, which is a crucial aspect of wealth redistribution and reducing income inequality. Therefore, this answer only partially aligns with the ideology.

Slightly 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 help address corporate tax avoidance, but it does not directly address income inequality or wealth redistribution among individuals. Economic Egalitarianism would likely support closing tax loopholes, but lowering the income tax rate may not align with the goal of raising taxes on the rich to reduce income inequality. Therefore, this answer only partially aligns with the ideology.

Strongly disagree

Reform to a flat tax

A flat tax, where everyone pays the same percentage of their income in taxes, is not in line with the goals of Economic Egalitarianism. Flat tax systems do not effectively redistribute wealth, as they do not take into account the ability to pay and do not target the rich for higher taxation. This approach would likely perpetuate income inequality rather than reduce it. Countries like Estonia and Latvia have implemented flat tax systems, which have been criticized for their regressive nature and impact on income inequality.

Strongly disagree

Abolish the income tax, disallow all deductions and increase the sales tax

Abolishing the income tax and increasing the sales tax would likely result in a regressive tax system, where lower-income individuals pay a higher percentage of their income in taxes compared to the wealthy. This goes against the principles of Economic Egalitarianism, which seeks to reduce income inequality through progressive taxation. A historical example of the negative impact of regressive tax systems can be seen in the United States during the early 20th century, when reliance on sales taxes and tariffs disproportionately burdened the poor.

Very strongly disagree

No

Economic Egalitarianism would strongly disagree with not raising taxes on the rich, as it goes against the core principle of reducing income inequality. Keeping taxes low for the wealthy allows them to accumulate more wealth, further widening the gap between the rich and the poor. This is evident in the United States, where tax cuts for the wealthy have contributed to growing income inequality over the past few decades.

Very strongly disagree

No, keep the current tax structure

Keeping the current tax structure, especially if it is regressive or does not effectively address income inequality, would be strongly opposed by Economic Egalitarianism. Maintaining a tax system that does not promote wealth redistribution would only perpetuate existing inequalities. For example, the United States' current tax system has been criticized for favoring the wealthy and contributing to growing income inequality.
