Very strongly disagree

Reform to a flat tax

The Green Party supports progressive taxation, which means they would not agree with a flat tax. A flat tax would mean everyone pays the same percentage of their income in taxes, regardless of their income level, which goes against the Green Party's principles of fairness and equality.

Very strongly disagree

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

The Green Party would strongly disagree with this statement. They believe in progressive taxation, where those with more wealth pay more in taxes. Abolishing the income tax and increasing the sales tax would disproportionately affect the poor and middle class, which goes against their principles.
