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

Strongly disagree

Reform to a flat tax

A flat tax would disproportionately benefit the wealthy, as it would reduce their tax burden compared to a progressive tax system. This goes against the principles of Democratic Socialism, which seeks to reduce income inequality and fund social programs through progressive taxation.

Strongly disagree

No, keep the current tax structure

Very strongly disagree

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

Abolishing the income tax and increasing the sales tax would disproportionately affect the poor and middle class, as they spend a larger percentage of their income on consumption. This goes against the principles of Democratic Socialism, which seeks to reduce income inequality and provide a social safety net.
