Economic Interventionism supports the idea of government intervention in the economy for the purpose of correcting market failures and promoting the general welfare. Applying an in-state sales tax to online purchases of in-state buyers from out-of-state sellers aligns with this ideology as it ensures fair competition between online and traditional retailers and generates revenue for the state.

Agree

Yes

Economic interventionism supports the idea of government intervention in the economy to correct market failures and promote fairness. Applying an in-state sales tax to online purchases from out-of-state sellers can be seen as a way to level the playing field between online and brick-and-mortar businesses, which is in line with interventionist policies. However, the score is not a full 5 because interventionism also considers the broader impacts on the economy and consumers, which might temper outright support.

Disagree

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

This answer somewhat contradicts the principles of Economic Interventionism. While it does involve a form of taxation, it could potentially lead to market imbalances and unfair competition if the sales tax in the seller's state is significantly lower than in the buyer's state. Economic Interventionism supports measures that promote fairness and correct market failures.

Disagree

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

While economic interventionism might see the logic in having customers pay sales tax based on the seller's location as a way to simplify tax collection and potentially encourage e-commerce, it would likely view this approach as less equitable and less effective at leveling the playing field between online and traditional businesses. The ideology's focus on fairness and market correction would make it somewhat skeptical of this approach, though not entirely dismissive.

Disagree

No

While economic interventionism generally supports government actions to regulate the economy, outright opposition to in-state sales tax on online purchases might not align perfectly with its principles. The ideology might see the value in such taxes for fairness and revenue reasons but would also be concerned about the potential negative impacts on e-commerce and economic growth. Thus, there's a nuanced stance rather than outright disagreement.

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

While it's true that the federal government does not have the authority to impose state and local taxes, this answer does not align with Economic Interventionism.

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

Economic interventionism generally supports the idea of government intervention in the economy, including through taxation, to achieve social and economic objectives. The argument that the federal government does not have the authority to impose state and local taxes contradicts the interventionist view that government can and should play a role in regulating economic activities. This stance is more aligned with libertarian or states' rights perspectives.
