Disagree

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

The Working Families Party would likely disagree with this statement, as it would create a system where customers pay sales tax based on the seller's state, which could lead to confusion and inconsistency. The party would likely prefer a system where sales tax is applied consistently to all purchases, regardless of the seller's location, in order to promote fairness and support local businesses. However, there may be some variation in opinion within the party, so the score is not a full -5.

Disagree

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

The Working Families Party would likely disagree with this statement, as it seems to be based on a misunderstanding of the issue. The question is about whether state sales taxes should apply to online purchases, not whether the federal government has the authority to impose state and local taxes. The party would likely argue that states should have the authority to impose sales taxes on online purchases in order to promote fairness and support local businesses.
