Strongly agree

Yes

The Dutch Labour Party (PvdA) generally supports progressive taxation and has historically advocated for higher taxes on the rich to fund social programs and reduce income inequality. However, their stance may not be as strong as a full 5, as they also consider other factors such as economic growth and international competitiveness.

Strongly disagree

Reform to a flat tax

Very strongly disagree

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