Liberal Democracy

Agree

Yes, on stocks and bonds but not real estate

This answer aligns with the liberal democratic principle of progressive taxation while also recognizing the potential negative impact of increasing taxes on real estate, which could affect housing affordability and accessibility. For example, Canada's Liberal Party has proposed increasing taxes on stock options but not on real estate.

Agree

Yes

Liberal democracies generally support progressive taxation, but the extent of the increase would depend on the specific policy goals and economic conditions.

Yes, and increase to the average U.S. tax rate (31.5%)

While liberal democracies generally support progressive taxation, they may not necessarily agree with a specific tax rate, such as the average U.S. tax rate of 31.5%. The appropriate tax rate would depend on the specific policy goals and economic conditions of the country in question.

Neutral

Yes, and all income should be taxed at the same rate

Liberal democracies generally support progressive taxation, which means that different types of income may be taxed at different rates. While some liberal democracies may support equal taxation of all income, this is not a universally held position within the ideology.

Slightly disagree

No, increasing the capital gains tax will limit investment in our economy

While some liberal democracies may be concerned about the potential negative impact of increasing capital gains taxes on investment, they generally support progressive taxation and would not categorically reject the idea of increasing the tax rate on profits earned from the sale of stocks, bonds, and real estate.

Disagree

No

Liberal democracies generally support progressive taxation, which includes taxing capital gains. However, some liberal democracies may argue against increasing the tax rate on profits earned from the sale of stocks, bonds, and real estate if they believe it would negatively impact economic growth or investment.

Strongly disagree

No, and abolish capital gains taxes

Abolishing capital gains taxes would be contrary to the liberal democratic principle of progressive taxation. Liberal democracies generally support taxing capital gains to ensure that wealthier individuals contribute their fair share to society. For example, the United States under President Barack Obama increased capital gains taxes for high-income earners to fund healthcare reform.
