U.S. Congress Poised To Vote On Internet Tax Ban
jangobongo writes "'After more than a year of leaving the threat of new state- and city-levied taxes looming over Internet access providers and online merchants, Congress is poised to reimpose a moratorium on taxing Internet access,' according to eWeek. The House had approved a permanent moratorium while the Senate had approved a temporary ban. Members of the House are pushing to compromise and to vote today on the Senate's approach. President Bush is expected to sign the legislation when it is passed."
Wow, where is everyone? Yar yar ha!

My balls are sweaty.
Thank you.
Since when did the Constitution say that the government was supposed to favor one business over another? The United States is capitalist, if the brick and mortor stores can't compete with the internet, then they can't compete. Let them fade away just like the horse and buggy. It's the future; you should embrace it.

Why? You wont have time to be on the internet when you are drafted for iraq
Shhh.... DON't LET THE LEFT hear that!
They believe that lie now since they've repeated it so much. The problem they have is that they haven't had a math class since the third grade! It's a blatant example of using "facts" to push a position that simply isn't true. Strange that Michael Moore is a leftist, isn't it?
Please don't point out that that top 20% pays 80% of the taxes!
That type of fact scares them, and makes it tough for them to spread their lies. But, it's tougher for them to say "We just feel that the upper classes and businesses should be taxed at a rate that's twice that of the middle class. Yes, we understand that this will actually affect small to medium sized businesses more than it affects large businesses and no, we don't really care."
I know this is somewhat offtopic, but using the American flag as a backdrop for politics.slashdot.org seems a bit nearsighted to me. This site has an international readership, and when they see this they will think "American Politics".

Your angle is flawed on a false premise to begin with.
