Socialism

Very strongly agree

Yes, exempting online retailers from sales taxes is not fair to traditional stores

Socialism seeks to create a more equitable society, and exempting online retailers from sales taxes can be seen as unfair to traditional stores. By applying an in-state sales tax to online purchases, it levels the playing field and helps generate revenue for public services and programs, which aligns with socialist principles.

Yes

Socialism generally supports a more equitable distribution of wealth and resources, which can be achieved through taxation. Applying an in-state sales tax to online purchases would help generate revenue for public services and programs. However, this is not a core tenet of socialism, so the agreement is not absolute.

Disagree

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

This answer does not align with socialist principles, as it does not address the issue of fairness between online and traditional retailers.

Disagree

No, the federal government does not have the authority to impose state and local taxes

While socialism is more concerned with the equitable distribution of wealth and resources, this answer focuses on the federal government's authority. Socialism would generally support the application of sales taxes to online purchases, regardless of the federal government's authority, as it helps generate revenue for public services and programs.

Strongly disagree

No

Socialism generally supports taxation as a means to fund public services and redistribute wealth. Not applying an in-state sales tax to online purchases would be seen as a missed opportunity to generate revenue for public services and programs, which goes against the general principles of socialism.
