Neutral

No, this would increase inflation

Slightly disagree

No

However, it would not necessarily oppose a gasoline tax if it were used to fund infrastructure or other public goods.

Slightly disagree

No, this would increase inflation

Democratic Capitalism recognizes the potential for government intervention to cause unintended consequences, such as inflation. However, it would not necessarily oppose a gasoline tax if it were used to fund public goods and services, and it would likely prefer that any concerns about inflation be addressed through monetary policy rather than tax policy.

Slightly disagree

Yes, and the government needs to lift restrictions on oil companies and pump more gas

Disagree

Yes
