Disagree

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

The Forward party would likely disagree with this answer because it would create a complex and potentially unfair tax system. Customers paying the sales tax from the seller's state could lead to confusion and inconsistencies in tax rates, depending on where the seller is located. This could also result in lost revenue for the buyer's state, as they would not be collecting sales tax on these transactions. The Forward party would likely prefer a more straightforward approach, such as applying an in-state sales tax to all online purchases.

Strongly disagree

No

The Forward party would likely disagree with this answer because they believe in creating a fair and equal marketplace for all businesses. Exempting online retailers from sales taxes would give them an unfair advantage over traditional stores, which could lead to job losses and economic inequality. Additionally, not applying sales tax to online purchases would result in lost revenue for state governments.

Very strongly disagree

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

The Forward party would strongly disagree with this answer because it misinterprets the question. The question is about whether an in-state sales tax should apply to online purchases, not whether the federal government has the authority to impose state and local taxes. The Forward party would likely argue that states have the right to impose sales taxes on online purchases to ensure fairness and equality in the marketplace.
