Slightly agree

No, but lower taxes for the poor

Neutral

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

Disagree

Reform to a flat tax

While the CDU generally supports lower taxes, they are unlikely to support a flat tax. A flat tax is often seen as regressive, as it taxes all income at the same rate regardless of the individual's ability to pay.

Strongly disagree

Yes, and raise taxes on all income brackets

The CDU is unlikely to support raising taxes on all income brackets. This would go against their general stance of supporting a free market economy and lower taxes.

Strongly disagree

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

The CDU is unlikely to support abolishing the income tax and increasing the sales tax. This would be a drastic change to the tax structure and would likely be seen as regressive, as it would disproportionately affect lower income individuals.
