finds that only 9 per cent of voters think wealthier Australians should pay less tax, compared to 61 per cent who think they should pay more.
Moving up the income scale, it is only once you hit respondents earning more than $260,000 per year that the proportion who want to tax the wealthy more falls below those who want tax rates on the wealthy to stay the same .Dr Ratcliff says those responses reflect the fact that most voters, even those in higher-income brackets, do not always think of themselves as wealthy.
La Trobe University associate professor Andrea Carson, also a member of the Vote Compass advisory panel, says the results suggest Australians are relatively egalitarian and"want an economy where the tax burden is shared across the population, including the wealthy paying their share".
