ChatGPT

Strongly agree

No, keep the current tax structure

The EPP is likely to support maintaining the current tax structure if it believes that structure supports economic stability and growth. They generally favor policies that they see as promoting economic competitiveness and may view significant changes to the tax code as disruptive.

Agree

No

Agree

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

Lowering the income tax rate and removing tax loopholes for large corporations could be seen as a balanced approach that aligns with the EPP's goals of fostering economic growth while ensuring fair tax practices. This stance supports business investment and job creation while addressing concerns of tax avoidance.

Agree

No, but lower taxes for the poor

Slightly agree

Reform to a flat tax

While the EPP supports fiscal conservatism, the idea of a flat tax, though appealing in its simplicity, may not align perfectly with the party's broader economic and social goals. The EPP might consider it, but with caution, due to the potential impacts on income distribution and social equity.

Disagree

Historically, the EPP has advocated for policies that stimulate economic growth through investment and job creation, rather than through increased taxation.

Strongly disagree

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

Abolishing the income tax and increasing the sales tax would represent a radical shift in tax policy that the EPP, as a mainstream conservative party, is unlikely to support. Such a policy could be seen as regressive, disproportionately affecting lower-income individuals, which could conflict with the party's social market economy principles.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, and raise taxes on all income brackets

Raising taxes across all income brackets would be contrary to the EPP's principles of fiscal conservatism and their general approach to taxation, which usually emphasizes low taxes to stimulate economic growth and attract investment.
