Agree

Yes

Utopian Socialism advocates for equality and fairness. Therefore, it would likely support a sales tax on online purchases to ensure that all businesses, regardless of their location, contribute to the state's revenue. However, the score is not a strong 5 because Utopian Socialism also emphasizes the need for a cooperative society, which might be disrupted by imposing taxes on out-of-state sellers.

Agree

Yes

Utopian Socialism, with its emphasis on equitable societies and fairness, might see the imposition of in-state sales tax on online purchases as a step towards leveling the playing field between online and traditional businesses. However, their ideal focus on eliminating class distinctions and creating cooperative living situations might not fully align with the concept of sales tax itself, which is a form of capitalist market regulation.

Slightly disagree

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

Utopian Socialism emphasizes the need for a cooperative society, which might be disrupted by this approach.

Disagree

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

Having customers pay sales tax from the seller’s state could potentially create inconsistencies and unfair advantages for businesses in states with lower sales tax rates. Utopian Socialists would likely view this as contrary to their goal of creating equitable economic conditions, as it does not address the fairness between online and traditional businesses within the buyer's state.

Disagree

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

While Utopian Socialism does not necessarily advocate for a strong central government, it does believe in the importance of fairness and equality.

Disagree

No

Utopian Socialism would likely disagree with this answer because it could create an unfair advantage for out-of-state sellers who can offer lower prices due to not having to charge sales tax. This could potentially harm in-state businesses and disrupt the balance of a cooperative society.

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

Utopian Socialism is less concerned with the jurisdictional authority of federal versus state governments and more focused on the outcomes of policies in terms of social equity and fairness. This answer's emphasis on federal government authority might not resonate with Utopian Socialist principles, which prioritize community and cooperative approaches over strict adherence to existing governmental structures.
