Strongly agree

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

This statement strongly resonates with conservative ideology, which advocates for limited government regulation of private businesses. The belief is that the market should dictate terms and that consumers can choose where to spend their money based on their acceptance of such fees.

Agree

No

This answer aligns with the conservative belief in a less regulated market where businesses have the freedom to operate as they see fit, including the implementation of surcharges, as long as they do not violate basic consumer rights or laws.

Agree

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

Conservatives often support the idea of preventing monopolies and cartels as these can hinder free market competition. However, the focus on this issue rather than on the regulation of surcharges might not be a direct concern related to the question, hence the moderate score.

Agree

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

While conservatives might agree with the economic rationale that businesses might raise prices if unable to add surcharges, the score is not higher because the statement indirectly suggests a tolerance for what could be seen as hidden fees, which some conservatives might view as not transparent or fair.

Disagree

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

While the idea of including all costs in the final purchase price might appeal to consumers, from a conservative perspective, mandating how businesses structure their pricing could be seen as an overreach of government power into the operations of the private sector.
