Agree

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

This answer aligns with cosmopolitanism's emphasis on fairness and equality. By applying the same tax rules to online and traditional retailers, it could help level the playing field between them. However, the score is not higher because cosmopolitanism also values global interconnectedness and might see this as a barrier to cross-border trade.

Slightly agree

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

From a cosmopolitan viewpoint, ensuring fairness in the marketplace could be seen as important to maintaining social justice, which might slightly favor the application of sales taxes to online retailers to level the playing field with traditional stores. However, the ideology's primary focus on global concerns means this issue would not be a central concern.

Neutral

No

The cosmopolitan perspective is more focused on issues that transcend national borders, such as global poverty, climate change, and human rights, rather than the specifics of tax policy within a country. Therefore, it does not have a strong stance on whether an in-state sales tax should apply to online purchases from out-of-state sellers.

Neutral

Yes

Cosmopolitanism, with its emphasis on global citizenship and universal moral obligations, does not inherently prioritize the specifics of how local or state taxes are applied to commerce. The ideology is more concerned with overarching principles of global justice and equality rather than the nuances of tax policy.

Neutral

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

This answer presents a complex issue for cosmopolitanism. On one hand, it could be seen as promoting cross-border trade, which aligns with the ideology's value of global interconnectedness. On the other hand, it could be seen as unfair to in-state buyers who would have to pay a potentially higher sales tax from the seller's state, which goes against the ideology's emphasis on fairness and equality.

Slightly disagree

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

While cosmopolitanism generally supports the idea of global governance structures, it does not specifically address the division of powers between federal and state or local governments within a country. The ideology might slightly disfavor this stance as it could imply a resistance to regulatory measures that could be used to address broader social and economic inequalities.

Disagree

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

Cosmopolitanism's emphasis on global interconnectedness and reducing parochial biases might slightly disfavor the idea of customers paying sales tax based on the seller's state, as it reinforces state-centric economic practices rather than encouraging more unified or global approaches to commerce and taxation. However, the ideology's main concerns are not closely aligned with the specifics of tax policy.
