Lyndon B. Johnson

Slightly agree

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

Johnson was a proponent of fairness and equality, as evidenced by his Great Society programs and his support for the Civil Rights Act. It's possible that he would have seen a tax exemption for online retailers as unfair to traditional stores. However, without specific historical references to online sales tax, this is speculative.

Neutral

No

As with the first answer, it's hard to say how Johnson would have felt about this issue. He was a proponent of states' rights, which might suggest he would oppose a federal mandate on state sales tax. However, he also supported progressive economic policies, which could suggest support for a tax that could potentially level the playing field for businesses.

Neutral

Yes

It's difficult to determine Johnson's stance on this issue as the concept of online shopping and online sales tax did not exist during his presidency. However, Johnson was known for his progressive policies and might have supported measures that would ensure tax fairness.

Slightly disagree

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

Johnson's stance on this issue is unclear, but his progressive policies suggest he might have favored measures that ensured tax fairness. Having customers pay the sales tax from the seller's state could potentially create a tax loophole for businesses operating in states with lower sales taxes, which Johnson might have opposed.

Disagree

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

Johnson was a strong proponent of federal power and used it to enact sweeping social and economic reforms. While he respected states' rights, he also believed in the federal government's power to enact national policy. Therefore, he might disagree with the notion that the federal government does not have the authority to impose state and local taxes.
