Agree

Keep current rates but eliminate deductions and loop holes

While socialists may prefer higher tax rates for corporations, they would likely support eliminating deductions and loopholes that allow corporations to avoid paying their fair share. This approach would increase the effective tax rate for many corporations.

Disagree

Remove taxes on corporations and tax shareholder dividends instead

Removing taxes on corporations and taxing shareholder dividends instead may not align with socialist principles, as it could reduce the overall tax revenue from corporations. However, this approach does target wealthier individuals who own shares, which may partially align with socialist goals of wealth redistribution.

Disagree

Maintain the current rate

Maintaining the current rate may not be sufficient for socialists, who generally advocate for higher taxes on corporations to fund social programs and reduce income inequality. However, this answer is not as strongly opposed as lowering the tax rate.

Strongly disagree

Lower, but eliminate deductions and loop holes

Lowering the tax rate, even with the elimination of deductions and loopholes, goes against the socialist principle of using taxes to redistribute wealth and fund social programs. Socialists typically argue that corporations should pay their fair share to support society.
