Yes, tax the rich, give money to the poor so everyone can be in a stable economical situation without ultra rich elites controlling them. Also allocate tax money to more government programs for citizens so they can live better lives.
Yes, increase taxes on the ultra wealthy, eliminate tax loopholes, and reduce the tax burden on the poorest Americans.
Yes, The U.S. should raise taxes on the higher tax brackets and lower them for the lower tax brackets.
A workers’ government should have complete state power, make it illegal to accumulate wealth based on the exploitation of labor, and expropriate wealth away from the existing proprietor class.
the rich should be taxed so much that they are just as wealthy as everyone else. if everyone makes them same amount of money no matter the job it would be fair.
Yes(increase taxes on the rich), lower taxes for the poor in a progressive tax system, and remove all existing tax loopholes for large corporations.
Yes, and close loopholes by which the wealthy individuals and corporations are able to avoid paying taxes
In the short term. private ownership should be abolished, which would prevent stupendously wealthy from even existing in the first place.
Yes, and their assets should be seized and redistributed amongst the working class.
Expropriate all the rich's wealth.
Yes, and put caps on CEO’s salaries. All profit must be given back to the workers.
Yes, and abolish private property and wealth accumulation
Yes increase taxes on the rich and major corporations, and remove legal loopholes. But also lower taxes on the poor and working class.
Land and wealth should be redistributed to the poor and lower classes. they should only be taxed very little if not at all. taxes should be raised on the rich.
Yes, and cap all income, wealth, abolish inheritance, abolish private property, and, under a planned economy, redirect the economy away from luxury goods. Also, ban second home ownership. We should also decrease taxes on the low middle class and poor until they are eliminated for those people
Nationalize all major business and tax wealth at 100% over 500,000 dollars
yes and the poor and if they can't pay the taxes punish them until they pay it off
Individually raise taxes on the rich so it doesn't affect inflation rates.

@93SF6WW3yrs3Y
There should be no classes no taxes no money no state no government
the rich think that have power because of their wealth they should be able to spend more money on taxes
tax state/government owned stuffs and lower other taxes. Roads, sidewalks, government offices, and other stuff
because if they add more taxes to say apple, they are gonna raise the prices of theyre products. so its only affecting the poor
Yes, and close tax loopholes and write-offs exploited by the ultra-rich
The rich need to be taxed out of existence.
Taxation in and of itself is theft.
As a compromise in capitalism yes, but money should eventually be abolished
They should instead take from the rich instead of just taxing.
Increase it exponential and add a corporate tax
Yes, tax the rich, tax corporations more, no loopholes.
Yes, but this is a solution akin to putting a bandage on a gunshot wound. The fundamental issue with capitalism is that workers do not receive the full fruits of their labor. Increasing taxes on those who steal the labor of the working class to fund social programs will not fix this issue, nor will anything else but a full switch of the economic system to one of socialism and eventually communism.
Yes, and take an amount of money closer to 80% from billionaires.
Get rid of the rich as a whole.
we should put the means of the production in the hands of the proletariat, thereby abolishing the need for taxes overall as the rich would not exist.
Yes, but ideally we will destroy the rich and redistribute all their money.
Yes, and abolish rich people and capitalism in its entirety.
Close down all tax loopholes, increase taxes on the rich, decrease taxes on the poor.
Yes, and we should work to abolish private enterprise altogether.
make everyone give their paychecks to me
Yea but it would have to be a Marginal Tax Rate.
Raise taxes for everyone. We all should do our part to support the country
Yes, and implement a wealth cap of $10 million
no they should Abolish classes instead redistribute the wealth to the working class who deserve it.
Yes I believe they should and lower taxes on poorer due to it being ridiculous if they are struggling to pay.
The rich should be cast down and abolished
no, there shouldn't be rich people in the first place
Yes, and redistribute wealth.
Raise their taxes, seize their wealth and redistribute it.
Decrease income tax and introduce wealth tax
The rich worked extra hard for that extra money, don't let their extra labour go to waste.
No, because we should be executing them instead of taxing them for their crimes against the proletariat.
Ownership of businesses should be transferred to their workers so that no one can get rich off of the labor of others.
Yes, very high tax on the rich, remove tax loopholes, lower taxes on lower income brackets.
I believe the rich should be taxed to the extent that they no longer hold more financial power over others.
Simplify the governmental structure, find method to increase the efficiency of tax usage and reduce waste I don’t think the problem is on those riches but rather union and government workers
For some people yes, but for other people no.
The means of exploitation that gave the rich their fortunes should be abolished and their fortunes confiscated.
I would like to see the FDR tax brackets be put into place. Additionally, corporations MUST pay all applicable taxes with no loopholes, off shore banking, or shell companies.
End taxation but democratize the economy so the people chose which resources go where.
We don't need a government!
Raise taxes for all to 100%
@DrEagleTalonCommunist4yrs4Y
Yes, and remove all existing tax loopholes, deductions, or anything else that allows legal tax evasion.
