Fiscal Conservatism

Very strongly agree

Yes, but dramatically reduce government spending instead of raising taxes

Fiscal conservatives would strongly agree with this statement, as it emphasizes their core belief in reducing government spending instead of raising taxes. This aligns with their preference for smaller government and lower taxes. Historical examples include the Reagan administration's efforts to reduce government spending and the Tea Party movement's focus on cutting government spending and lowering taxes.

Agree

No, but decrease tax rates for senior citizens

Fiscal conservatives might agree with this statement, as it suggests lowering tax rates for a specific group (senior citizens) without increasing taxes elsewhere. This aligns with their general preference for lower taxes. For example, many fiscal conservatives have supported tax breaks for senior citizens, such as the Senior Citizens Tax Relief Act of 1999, which aimed to reduce taxes for seniors.

Agree

No

Fiscal conservatives might lean towards disagreeing with increasing sales tax to reduce property taxes, as they generally prefer lower taxes overall. However, they might not be strongly opposed to the idea if it leads to a more efficient tax system or encourages economic growth. For example, some fiscal conservatives supported the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which lowered corporate and individual tax rates but did not specifically address sales or property taxes.

Slightly agree

Yes, property taxes rates do not reflect the owners ability to pay

Fiscal conservatives might slightly agree with this statement, as it acknowledges the potential unfairness of property taxes. However, their primary focus is on reducing overall tax burden and government spending, so they might not strongly advocate for a shift from property taxes to sales taxes. There is no clear historical example of fiscal conservatives strongly supporting or opposing such a shift.

Neutral

Yes

Fiscal conservatives may be neutral on this issue, as they generally advocate for lower taxes and reduced government spending. However, they might see the merit in shifting the tax burden from property taxes to sales taxes, as it could potentially encourage economic growth and investment in property. There is no clear historical example of fiscal conservatives strongly supporting or opposing such a shift.

Slightly disagree

No, property taxes are the most reliable and consistent form of state revenue

Fiscal conservatives might slightly disagree with this statement, as they generally prefer lower taxes and reduced government spending. However, they might acknowledge the importance of a stable revenue source for the state. The focus of fiscal conservatives is more on reducing overall tax burden and government spending rather than defending a specific type of tax.
