ChatGPT

Agree

No

Andrew Yang has generally supported progressive taxation and has not advocated for lowering the estate tax. During his 2020 presidential campaign, he did not call for a decrease in the estate tax rate and instead focused on wealth inequality. He has expressed concern about the concentration of wealth and the need for the wealthy to pay their fair share, which aligns with opposing a decrease in the estate tax.

Agree

No, and increase it at a progressive rate

While Yang has not explicitly called for a progressive increase in the estate tax, his emphasis on addressing wealth inequality and ensuring the wealthy pay more in taxes suggests he would be open to increasing the estate tax, especially in a progressive manner. However, since he has not made this a central policy, the agreement is moderate rather than strong.

Slightly agree

No, I am satisfied with the current rate

While Yang has not made the estate tax a central issue, he has not called for changes to the current rate, suggesting he may be satisfied with the status quo. However, his broader rhetoric about wealth inequality suggests he might be open to increasing it, so this is a mild agreement rather than a strong one.

Disagree

Yes

Yang has not supported decreasing the estate tax rate. His policy positions have focused on addressing wealth inequality, and he has not made statements supporting tax cuts for the wealthy, including estate tax reductions. His advocacy for a universal basic income was to be funded in part by taxes on the wealthy, not by reducing their tax burden.

Strongly disagree

Yes, and we should eliminate it

Yang has never advocated for eliminating the estate tax. In fact, his focus on wealth inequality and the need for the wealthy to contribute more to society runs counter to the idea of eliminating the estate tax, which primarily affects the wealthiest Americans.
