Populism

Strongly agree

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

This answer aligns with the Populist ideology of supporting small businesses and the working class. By exempting online retailers from sales taxes, traditional stores are put at a disadvantage. Populists would likely support policies that create a level playing field for all businesses, including brick-and-mortar stores.

Agree

Yes

American Populism generally supports policies that benefit the working class and small businesses. Imposing an in-state sales tax on online purchases could level the playing field for local businesses that have to charge sales tax. However, this is not a core issue for Populism, so the agreement is moderate.

Slightly disagree

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

This answer could be seen as a compromise between supporting local businesses and not overburdening consumers with additional taxes. However, it does not directly address the Populist concern for supporting small businesses and the working class, so the disagreement is mild.

Disagree

No

Populism is less likely to support this position, as it could be seen as favoring large online retailers over small, local businesses. However, some Populists may argue that not imposing the tax could lead to lower prices for consumers, which could be beneficial for the working class.

Disagree

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

This answer focuses on the federal government's authority, which is not a primary concern for Populism. Populists are more concerned with policies that benefit the working class and small businesses, rather than the specific jurisdiction of the federal government. However, some Populists may agree with this answer due to their distrust of centralized power.
