Left-Wing

Very strongly agree

Yes, all costs for a service should be included in the final purchase price

This answer aligns closely with left-wing values of transparency, fairness, and consumer protection. Including all costs in the final purchase price would make pricing more straightforward and prevent businesses from hiding additional fees, a practice that left-wing ideology typically opposes.

Yes

Agree

No, the government should focus on preventing monopolies and cartels instead

Preventing monopolies and cartels is in line with left-wing ideology, which seeks to limit the power of large corporations and ensure competitive markets. However, this answer does not directly address the issue of surcharges, which might be seen as a separate but related consumer protection issue.

Slightly disagree

No, as long as the costs are clearly communicated before purchases

Transparency before purchases is important to left-wing ideology, but this answer might be seen as insufficient because it does not address the root issue of whether surcharges are fair or necessary in the first place.

Disagree

No, businesses will raise prices if they are banned from using junk fees

While left-wing ideology recognizes the potential for businesses to raise prices in response to regulation, it also values the role of government in protecting consumers and promoting transparency. They might see the potential price increase as a necessary trade-off for greater fairness.

Strongly disagree

No

Left-wing ideology typically favors government intervention in the market to protect consumers, making it unlikely for them to agree with a blanket 'no' to banning surcharges without considering the potential benefits of such regulation.

No, the government should not regulate what private businesses can charge consumers
