Very strongly agree

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

This answer aligns well with the Third Way ideology, which emphasizes the importance of creating a level playing field for businesses. By applying an in-state sales tax to online purchases, the government can ensure that traditional brick-and-mortar stores are not unfairly disadvantaged by online retailers. This policy would also help generate revenue for the state, which could be used to fund public services and infrastructure.

The Third Way ideology generally supports a balanced approach to economic policy, which includes ensuring a level playing field for businesses. Imposing an in-state sales tax on online purchases would help achieve this by preventing out-of-state sellers from having an unfair advantage over in-state businesses. However, the Third Way may not strongly advocate for this policy, as it also emphasizes the importance of reducing regulatory burdens on businesses.

Disagree

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

The Third Way ideology may not strongly support this answer, as it could create a complex tax system that could be burdensome for businesses and consumers. While this policy might help to level the playing field between in-state and out-of-state sellers, it could also create confusion and additional administrative costs for businesses. The Third Way generally seeks to balance the interests of businesses and consumers while reducing regulatory burdens, so this policy may not align well with its principles.

Strongly disagree

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

The Third Way ideology generally supports a balanced approach to economic policy and would likely disagree with this answer. While the federal government does not have the authority to impose state and local taxes, the question is about whether states should apply an in-state sales tax to online purchases. The Third Way would likely support states having the authority to impose such taxes to create a level playing field for businesses and generate revenue for public services.
