No, but lower taxes for the poor

However, they would also want to see taxes raised on the rich, so they might not fully agree with this statement if it implied keeping taxes on the rich at their current levels.

Agree

Yes, and raise taxes on all income brackets

While the Workers' Party supports higher taxes on the rich, they may not necessarily support raising taxes on all income brackets. However, they do believe in a progressive tax system, so they might support modest increases for middle-income earners if it was part of a broader reform to make the tax system more equitable.

Very strongly disagree

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

The Workers' Party would strongly disagree with this statement. They believe in progressive taxation, where the rich pay more. Abolishing the income tax and increasing the sales tax would likely result in a regressive tax system where the poor pay a higher proportion of their income in taxes.
