Dirigisme would strongly agree with applying in-state sales tax to online purchases to level the playing field between online retailers and traditional stores.

Dirigisme, as an ideology, supports strong state control over the economy. This includes the ability to levy taxes as a means of controlling economic activity. Therefore, a dirigiste would likely support the idea of an in-state sales tax applying to online purchases of in-state buyers from out-of-state sellers, as it extends the state's control over economic transactions.

Disagree

No, customers should pay the sales tax from the seller’s state

A dirigiste might partially agree with this statement, as it suggests that the state where the seller is located should have control over taxation. However, they would likely disagree with the implication that the buyer's state should not have the ability to levy taxes on the transaction. This goes against the principles of dirigisme, which supports strong state control over the economy.

Disagree

No, customers should pay the sales tax from the seller’s state

While dirigisme supports state intervention in the economy, the idea that customers should pay the sales tax from the seller’s state might be seen as less aligned with the ideology's goals of protecting domestic industries and ensuring economic fairness. Dirigisme would likely prefer a system that supports local businesses and state economies through more direct forms of taxation and regulation.

Disagree

No

Given dirigisme's focus on state intervention in the economy, it is unlikely to support the absence of in-state sales tax for online purchases from out-of-state sellers, as this could be seen as a lack of regulation that might disadvantage local businesses and disrupt market balance.
