Agree

Slightly agree

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

While liberal conservatism supports free market principles, it also recognizes the potential negative impacts of unrestricted business practices on consumers.

Slightly disagree

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

While liberal conservatism might support the idea of transparency and fairness in pricing, mandating that all costs be included in the final purchase price could be seen as too prescriptive and an overreach of government regulation in business practices.
