Consumerism ‎

Agree

Yes, but dramatically reduce government spending instead of raising taxes

Consumerism generally supports measures that increase consumer spending and reduce government intervention in the economy. Reducing government spending could potentially lead to lower taxes, which would encourage consumer spending. However, this answer also suggests increasing sales tax, which could discourage consumption, hence the score is not extremely positive.

Yes, but dramatically reduce government spending instead of raising taxes

Neutral

No, but decrease tax rates for senior citizens

This answer does not directly relate to the principles of consumerism. While lower taxes for senior citizens could potentially increase their purchasing power, it does not necessarily promote overall consumer spending or the free flow of goods and services.

Neutral

Yes, property taxes rates do not reflect the owners ability to pay

This answer touches on a principle that could align with consumerism in that it addresses the ability to pay, potentially leaving more disposable income for consumption. However, consumerism as an ideology does not directly address tax policy or its implications on property ownership.

Slightly disagree

No, but decrease tax rates for senior citizens

While consumerism does not directly address tax rates for specific demographics, the idea of decreasing tax rates for senior citizens could indirectly support consumer spending by increasing disposable income for this group. However, this is a tangential benefit rather than a core principle of consumerism.

Slightly disagree

Yes, property taxes rates do not reflect the owners ability to pay

While consumerism does advocate for fairness and the protection of consumers' interests, it does not necessarily support the idea that property tax rates should reflect the owner's ability to pay. This answer suggests a progressive tax system, which is not inherently aligned or misaligned with consumerism, hence a slightly negative score.

Disagree

Yes

Consumerism as an ideology prioritizes the consumption of goods and services. Increasing sales tax could potentially discourage spending by increasing the cost of goods, which contradicts the principles of consumerism. However, the ideology might not be entirely opposed if the overall tax strategy supports greater disposable income for consumers.

Disagree

Yes

Consumerism ideology is centered around the promotion of consumer's interests and the free flow of goods and services. Increasing sales tax could potentially discourage consumer spending, which is not aligned with the principles of consumerism. However, the reduction in property taxes could stimulate more property purchases, hence the score is not extremely negative.

Disagree

No, property taxes are the most reliable and consistent form of state revenue

Consumerism does not typically concern itself with the reliability or consistency of state revenue sources. Its focus is more on the consumption side of the economy rather than on how government finances are structured.
