Should Germany raise taxes on the rich?
Australia currently has a progressive tax system whereby high income earners pay a higher percentage of tax than low income tax. A more progressive income tax system has been proposed as a tool towards reducing wealth inequality.

Taxes should be set according to how much money people make on a yearly basis. Taxes and fines should be ordered accordingly.
@99ZDXGL1yr1Y
Yes and remove all subsidies for the rich
@99W9TH81yr1Y
Tax people with 40 million income
@99MMLBS1yr1Y
Ensure that there are no loopholes and the rates are fair proportionally across all groups
@99M6RWC1yr1Y
Yes, raise taxes on all income brackets and remove all existing tax loopholes for large corporations
@99GY6W71yr1Y
Rich shouldnt be allowed to exist. Restructure corporate entities into worker cooperatives. No need for a "rich tax", something which can easily be aboided with offshore accounts and other illegal practices if there are no rich people to begin with.
Lower taxes but increase the tax on inheritance, especially for rich people.
@9L85XG21mo1MO
decrease taxes on everyone except top bracket and add new backet for over 500,000 euros and make it a 53% tax
@9J895W74mos4MO
lower income taxes but establish a 5-10% inheritance tax and remove existing tax loopholes for large corporations and raise the corporate tax
Yes, tax the rich into poverty, because I hate them.
@9FFNRT8Free Democratic8mos8MO
Implement a land value tax instead.
@9CLKVVFFree Democratic10mos10MO
Shift all taxes to a single land value tax.
@9C39DTS12mos12MO
Restructure to eliminate loopholes for ultra wealthy & corporations.
@9BDB5GZ1yr1Y
yes but only for people with more than 50 million dollars
Abolish private property altogether.
No, it should lower taxes.
@98J4HHG1yr1Y
No. Germany should lower it.
@986YYN91yr1Y
No, Germany should lower the taxes.
Yes, but the definition of rich should be someone making more than 300k a year! Increasing taxes on upper middle class won't help anyone
@97N85421yr1Y
Yes, mostly the top 10% but offer more tax break incentives towards investments that help the nation such as renewable energy or investments into the infrastructure
@977G79C2yrs2Y
No. Lower the tax and reform it to a flat tax.
@976WJ3T2yrs2Y
No, lower the taxes and reform them to flat taxes.
@96YKSJ4Free Democratic2yrs2Y
No. It should lower it and reform it to a flat tax.
@8VF5FYJ3yrs3Y
Yes, but only on a certain percentage of wealth
@8V6RSLM3yrs3Y
Widening the direct tax net will be more fruitful.
@8QQ67P53yrs3Y
Introduce higher tax brackets for the ‘mega richer’
@8N4CZR84yrs4Y
No, they should focus on getting rid of tax evasion first, there is no point in raising taxes if you cannot guarantee that they will be paid.
@8CM6DHC4yrs4Y
No, we should tax the poor
@93ZP8QG2yrs2Y
Yes, but simply to ensure that the wealthy pay their fair share. It is absurd that major corporations, such as Amazon and Walmart, pay no or little federal income taxes, while the average American foots the bill. All existing tax loopholes for large corporations should be closed. This would generate sufficient revenue to fund education, healthcare, and social programs such as increased student loan forgiveness, paid family leave, and universal Pre-K.
@52YRS682yrs2Y
Yes, but only the extremely rich exceeding $200,000 a year and raise the tax brackets for those individuals while abolishing the income tax for all citizens making less.
Deleted2yrs2Y
No, reform to a flat tax, abolish all taxes except sales tax, and require payment/ tolls for use of federal services to make them self sustainable (roads, parks, postage, etc.). Tax collection funds services that can't charge (law enforcement, military, congress, etc.)
@heatherdvdprincess2yrs2Y
Reform to a flat tax, or a flat tax for income after poverty level, and raise poverty level to the amount of money needed for a reasonable standard of living for someone with average financial literacy.
Teach financial literacy in school. The lowest income I can consistently find people online living comfortably with is $7k, with some DIY skills.
Deleted2yrs2Y
Abolish the income tax, replace all federal taxes with a single LVT
@5Z8DMCG2yrs2Y
Focus on removing tax loopholes first.
@92JXK3J2yrs2Y
No, but stop the rich from exploiting loopholes to avoid taxes. If we are to lower taxes, especially for the poor, the rich must logically pick up some of the slack, but raising taxes is not the solution. Just ensure that the rich cannot avoid taxes.
@93RWDYB2yrs2Y
Abolish all taxes but LVT
@92JXK3J2yrs2Y
No, but stop the rich from exploiting loopholes to avoid taxes. If we are to lower taxes, especially for the poor, the rich must logically pick up some of the slack.
@924MYCK2yrs2Y
Yes, higher for the rich and lower for middle and low-income citizens, and eliminate loopholes so that they pay their fair share. Also, use the taxpayer money to fund social programs, infrastructure, etc.
@WhenDidISayThis2yrs2Y
Only for those making over $400k a year
@8T58M5P2yrs2Y
No, abolish the income tax and keep taxes on large corporations
@938PWY62yrs2Y
Tax the rich if you want, but the only tax hikes that matter are establishing commodity and public stock trade fees and raising corporate taxes.
@9375CJZ2yrs2Y
graduated tax percentage
@935ZDRY2yrs2Y
No, but only for the rich who have committed crimes or had shady business dealings
@9334YP32yrs2Y
No, taxation is theft and should be abolished entirely for all US citizens.
@92YHQCV2yrs2Y
Yes, and remove all existing tax loopholes for large corporations so they can start paying their fair share. After all, the Richer you are, the Higher your Taxes, and the Poorer you are, the Lower your Taxes, that's how it should work.
@88LK76J2yrs2Y
No and abolish taxation
@Blakers84312yrs2Y
No, Abolish Property taxes and lower state and federal income taxes
@92X5HLD2yrs2Y
No, and all taxes should be abolished
@92VBD9F2yrs2Y
No, unless they are getting rich illegally
