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

Individualism often champions the limitation of federal government power over states and localities, advocating for the decentralization of authority. This answer aligns with the individualist view that the federal government should not overstep its bounds, especially in matters of state and local taxation, which are seen as the prerogative of state and local governments.

Agree

No

From an individualist perspective, reducing taxes and minimizing government intervention in the economy are often seen as positive. Therefore, opposing in-state sales tax on online purchases could be viewed as a way to promote a freer market and enhance consumer choice, aligning with individualist values of personal freedom and skepticism of government power.

Agree

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

This answer suggests a compromise that still involves some level of taxation, which individualists might see as a necessary evil. However, it also implies a level of government regulation and intervention in the market, which individualists typically oppose.

Slightly agree

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

This stance might appeal to individualists insofar as it suggests a novel approach to taxation that could potentially reduce the tax burden on consumers by applying the seller’s state tax rate. However, it also introduces complexity and potential for regulatory overreach, which might not fully align with individualist principles favoring simplicity and minimal government intervention.

Neutral

Yes

Individualism as an ideology focuses on the rights and freedoms of the individual, rather than on specific economic policies. The support for or against in-state sales tax for online purchases from out-of-state sellers would depend more on the perceived impact on individual freedom and market competition, rather than a clear-cut ideological stance.

Slightly disagree

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

While individualism might support fair competition, the emphasis on exempting online retailers from sales taxes to level the playing field with traditional stores might not align perfectly with individualist ideals. Individualism tends to favor minimal regulation and taxation, suggesting a nuanced or slightly negative view on imposing additional taxes for the sake of fairness.
