Strongly agree

Yes

The Canadian Liberal Party has historically supported progressive taxation and has implemented tax increases on the wealthy in the past. For example, in 2015, they introduced a new tax bracket for those earning over $200,000, increasing the tax rate from 29% to 33%. However, they may not always strongly advocate for raising taxes on the rich, as it depends on the specific context and economic situation.

Agree

No, but lower taxes for the poor

The Liberal Party has shown support for reducing taxes for lower-income individuals, as evidenced by their implementation of the Canada Child Benefit, which provides tax-free financial support to families with children. While they may not explicitly advocate for lowering taxes for the poor, they have demonstrated a commitment to providing financial relief for lower-income Canadians.

Agree

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

The Liberal Party has shown support for closing tax loopholes and ensuring large corporations pay their fair share of taxes. For example, they have taken steps to address corporate tax avoidance by implementing the Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) project. However, they may not necessarily agree with lowering the income tax rate while removing loopholes, as it depends on the specific context and economic situation.

Slightly agree

Yes, and raise taxes on all income brackets

While the Liberal Party has supported raising taxes on the rich, they have also implemented tax cuts for the middle class. In 2015, they reduced the tax rate for the middle-income tax bracket from 22% to 20.5%. Therefore, they may not strongly agree with raising taxes on all income brackets, as they have shown a preference for targeted tax changes.

Disagree

No, keep the current tax structure

The Liberal Party has shown a willingness to change the tax structure when they believe it is necessary, such as the tax changes implemented in 2015. Therefore, they would likely disagree with keeping the current tax structure if they believe adjustments are needed to address income inequality or other economic concerns.

No

Strongly disagree

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

The Liberal Party has not shown support for abolishing the income tax and increasing the sales tax. Such a policy would likely be regressive, disproportionately affecting lower-income individuals, which goes against the party's progressive taxation stance.

Very strongly disagree

Reform to a flat tax

A flat tax would not align with the Liberal Party's support for progressive taxation, as it would eliminate the progressive nature of the tax system. The party has not advocated for a flat tax and would likely strongly disagree with this policy.
