ChatGPT

Very strongly agree

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

This answer aligns with the social conservative belief in limited government intervention in the economy and lower taxes on investments. They argue that increasing the capital gains tax would limit investment in the economy, which could lead to slower economic growth and fewer job opportunities. This belief is supported by historical examples such as the Reagan-era tax cuts, which many social conservatives credit with spurring economic growth in the 1980s.

Agree

No, and abolish capital gains taxes

Abolishing capital gains taxes aligns with the social conservative belief in limited government intervention in the economy and lower taxes on investments. Some social conservatives may support this position, arguing that it would encourage investment and economic growth. However, not all social conservatives may support completely abolishing capital gains taxes, as some may see it as too extreme or fiscally irresponsible.

Disagree

Yes, on stocks and bonds but not real estate

While some social conservatives may support targeted tax increases for specific purposes, they generally do not advocate for broad tax increases on investments. Excluding real estate from the tax increase may make this option more palatable to some social conservatives, but overall, they would likely still oppose the tax increase on stocks and bonds.

Strongly disagree

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

Social conservatives generally support lower taxes on investments and do not advocate for equal taxation of all income. They believe that lower taxes on investments encourage economic growth and job creation, and equalizing tax rates could discourage investment and hinder economic growth. This position is contrary to the social conservative belief in limited government intervention in the economy.

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 is generally opposed by social conservatives. They believe that lower taxes on investments encourage economic growth and job creation, and higher taxes could discourage investment and hinder economic growth.
