Strongly agree

Yes

Collectivism emphasizes the importance of collective action and responsibility. Therefore, it would generally support the idea of an in-state sales tax applying to online purchases of in-state buyers from out-of-state sellers. This is because it would ensure that everyone contributes to the state's revenue, which can then be used for collective benefits such as public services and infrastructure.

Agree

Yes

Collectivism emphasizes the importance of group goals over individual goals and may support policies that seem to level the playing field for all members of a community, including businesses. Applying an in-state sales tax to online purchases could be seen as a way to ensure fairness and equity among in-state and out-of-state sellers, aligning with collectivist values. However, the score is not higher because the collectivist ideology might also consider the broader implications on consumers and economic freedom.

Disagree

No

Collectivism might oppose this stance because it could potentially create an uneven playing field between online and brick-and-mortar businesses, which goes against the collectivist aim of equity and fairness within the community. However, there might be some consideration for how such policies impact consumer choice and market competition, which prevents a more negative score.

Disagree

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

Collectivism would likely disagree with this answer because it could potentially lead to a loss of revenue for the buyer's state. This could then impact the provision of public services and infrastructure that benefit the collective. However, the score is not as negative as for other answers because this approach could still ensure that some sales tax is collected, even if it's not for the buyer's state.

Disagree

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

From a collectivist perspective, this approach might be seen as prioritizing the interests of out-of-state businesses over the needs and fairness towards in-state businesses and consumers. It could potentially lead to a situation where local businesses are disadvantaged, which would run counter to collectivist values of community support and equity.

Disagree

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

While the issue of federal versus state authority isn't directly related to collectivism, the ideology would likely disagree with this answer because it could potentially lead to a loss of revenue for the state. This could then impact the provision of public services and infrastructure that benefit the collective.

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

Collectivism generally supports the use of state mechanisms to achieve greater social equity and might view the imposition of taxes as a way to redistribute resources for the common good. This answer's emphasis on the limitations of federal authority over state and local taxes might be seen as contrary to collectivist goals of using government policies to ensure fairness and equity.
