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."

    This is proof positive that no matter how hard you try, you can't weed out all of the idiots. I don't know how I could possibly make something more of an obvious joke, and yet still some idiot thinks I am serious.

    the rest of the more educated america get saddled with an incompetant president and the rest of the morons they share the country with

    Psst... you are one of those idiots you complain so bitterly about if you can't see the flashing lights around the previous post that screamed JOKE. Do the world a favor and don't vote next election. I don't care if you voted for the same guy as me or not. Just spare the country of your dumb input into the system.
