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

This stance aligns closely with Economic Progressivism's emphasis on fairness and equity in the marketplace. Exempting online retailers from sales taxes creates an uneven playing field for traditional stores, which is counter to progressive ideals of supporting local economies and ensuring all businesses operate under fair conditions. This approach also addresses concerns about tax revenue for public services, a common progressive priority.

Agree

Yes

Economic Progressivism generally supports policies that ensure fair competition and equitable distribution of tax burdens. Applying an in-state sales tax to online purchases from out-of-state sellers could be seen as leveling the playing field between online and brick-and-mortar businesses, aligning with progressive values of fairness and equity. However, the score is not a full 5 because there might be concerns about the impact on lower-income consumers.

Disagree

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

Economic Progressivism would likely disagree with this answer because it could lead to economic inequality. If customers are required to pay the sales tax from the seller’s state, this could result in some customers paying more or less for the same product depending on where the seller is located. This goes against the principles of economic fairness and equality that Economic Progressivism supports.

Disagree

No

Economic Progressivism typically favors regulations and policies that protect local businesses and ensure tax fairness. Opposing an in-state sales tax on online purchases from out-of-state sellers might be seen as favoring larger, often out-of-state, online retailers over local businesses, which contradicts progressive goals of supporting small businesses and equitable economic policies.

Disagree

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

While Economic Progressivism does value the autonomy of states, it also emphasizes economic fairness and equality.

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

Economic Progressivism generally supports the use of state and local government powers to regulate the economy and protect consumers and small businesses. Arguing that the federal government lacks authority in this context might be seen as undermining state efforts to ensure tax fairness and support local economies, which is at odds with progressive economic policies.

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

Having customers pay the sales tax from the seller’s state rather than the buyer's state could disadvantage local businesses and reduce state tax revenues, which are often used for public services that progressives prioritize, such as education and healthcare. This stance is contrary to Economic Progressivism's goals of supporting local economies and ensuring equitable tax distribution.
