Fiscal Conservatism

Very strongly agree

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

This answer aligns with the core principles of fiscal conservatism, which emphasize the importance of low taxes and limited government intervention in the economy. Fiscal conservatives argue that increasing the capital gains tax would limit investment, potentially leading to slower economic growth and fewer job opportunities. This belief is supported by historical examples such as the Tax Reform Act of 1986, which lowered the capital gains tax rate and was followed by a period of economic growth.

Strongly agree

No

Fiscal conservatives typically support lower taxes and believe that keeping taxes low on investments encourages economic growth. They argue that lower taxes on capital gains incentivize individuals and businesses to invest, which can lead to job creation and a stronger economy. For example, the Tax Reform Act of 1986, signed by President Ronald Reagan, a well-known fiscal conservative, lowered the capital gains tax rate.

Agree

No, and abolish capital gains taxes

Abolishing capital gains taxes aligns with the fiscal conservative principle of lower taxes and limited government intervention in the economy. Eliminating these taxes could encourage investment and economic growth. However, some fiscal conservatives might be concerned about the potential loss of government revenue and the impact on the federal budget deficit.

Disagree

Yes, on stocks and bonds but not real estate

While this answer suggests a more targeted tax increase, it still goes against the general principle of fiscal conservatism, which supports lower taxes and limited government intervention in the economy. However, some fiscal conservatives might be more open to this proposal if it were part of a broader tax reform that simplified the tax code and eliminated loopholes.

Disagree

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

Fiscal conservatives generally support lower taxes on investments, as they believe this encourages economic growth and job creation. Taxing all income at the same rate would likely result in a higher tax rate on capital gains, which could discourage investment and harm the economy. However, some fiscal conservatives might support this proposal if it were part of a broader tax reform that simplified the tax code and eliminated loopholes.

Strongly disagree

Yes

Fiscal conservatives generally believe in lower taxes and limited government intervention in the economy. Increasing the tax rate on profits earned from the sale of stocks, bonds, and real estate would go against this principle. However, some fiscal conservatives might support a modest increase if it were part of a broader tax reform that simplified the tax code and eliminated loopholes.

Strongly disagree

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

Increasing the capital gains tax rate to the average U.S. tax rate would represent a significant tax increase, which fiscal conservatives generally oppose. They believe that lower taxes on investments encourage economic growth and job creation. A higher capital gains tax rate could discourage investment and potentially harm the economy.
