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."

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.
