EU Plans to Tax Internet Sales
Arctic Fox writes: "In a bid to help European online sales, the EU is planning to tax online transactions. The article on Yahoo, says that the taxes will apply only to products downloaded from the internet, such as software,videos and music. They may elect to tax physical items (books, hardware,etc) at a later date. American companies will be forced to charge European customers the appropriate VAT in their home country. No details on how this will be enforced."
Why is providing other with insurance or anything else for that matter my problem? I work hard and do the right and responsible thing why in the *hell* should I pay for those who don't? I already pay taxes and there are programs in place that can and do help those who really can't that would leave "people" who don't like to work. Why is it my job to take care of them? Simple it is not.

Why are all the other replies to this message marked -1 troll or off-topic? This seems systematic, especially since most of them make the same valid point.

EX: US kicked off human rights committee while rights violators stay.. Pathetic.
Well, not a lot of countries execute the mentally retarded AND children. Just the USA and maybe Yemen. That's why the USA won't sign the convention on protecting the rights of the child, since it has a clause in there about not killing them.
