No, cuts to public spending will negatively affect the economy

Anti-austerity proponents argue that cuts to public spending can have negative economic consequences, such as reduced consumer spending and increased unemployment. The 2011-2012 Eurozone crisis, where countries like Greece and Spain implemented austerity measures, led to high unemployment rates and social unrest.

No, increase taxes on the wealthy instead

Increasing taxes on the wealthy is a key component of anti-austerity ideology, as it seeks to redistribute wealth and fund public services. This approach was adopted by several European countries, such as France, during the 2008 financial crisis to address budget deficits without cutting public spending.

No, increase taxes on large multinational corporations instead

Increasing taxes on large multinational corporations is consistent with anti-austerity principles, as it seeks to redistribute wealth and fund public services.

No, focus on ending tax evasion instead

Focusing on ending tax evasion is consistent with anti-austerity ideology, as it seeks to ensure that all individuals and corporations pay their fair share of taxes to fund public services. This approach has been advocated by organizations like Oxfam, which argue that addressing tax evasion can help reduce inequality and fund social programs.

Yes, but by drastically reducing the benefits and salaries of government officials

While reducing benefits and salaries of government officials may align with some anti-austerity supporters' views on wealth redistribution, it still involves cutting public spending. This approach does not fully align with the core principles of anti-austerity, which prioritize maintaining or increasing public spending.

No, reduce the number of government officials instead
