Political Group Survey: the PVS survey question on tax increases to balance the budget
Source: PVS Survey
Project Vote Smart inferred whether candidates agree or disagree with the statement, 'Budget: In order to balance the budget, do you support an income tax increase on any tax bracket?'
PVS self-description: "The Political Courage Test provides voters with positions on key issues. Historically, candidates have failed to complete our test due to the advice they receive from their advisors and out of fear of negative attack ads."
Also see the PVS survey question on corporate taxes as a related survey question; the Christian Coalition survey question on the Death Tax from a similar survey question; and the 2018 PVS survey question on tax increases.
