Agree

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

Consumerism might slightly agree with this statement as it advocates for fairness and equality in the market. Exempting online retailers from sales taxes could be seen as unfair competition to traditional brick-and-mortar stores, which consumerism might oppose due to its potential negative impact on consumer choice and market diversity.

Agree

Yes

Consumerism ideology supports the idea of a free market and competition. Applying an in-state sales tax to online purchases could level the playing field between online and traditional retailers, promoting competition. However, it might also increase the cost for consumers, which is why the score is not a full 5.

Slightly disagree

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

Disagree

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