Strongly disagree

Reform to a flat tax

A flat tax is generally seen as a regressive tax policy, which is not in line with Doyle's generally progressive stance on taxation. Therefore, it is unlikely that he would support this position.

Very strongly disagree

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

Abolishing the income tax and increasing the sales tax would likely be seen as regressive tax policies by Doyle, who has generally supported progressive taxation. This is therefore highly unlikely to be a position he would support.
