Wisconsin Governor Proposing Tax On Downloads

Posted by samzenpus on from the click-and-pay dept.

Christopher Reimer writes "Ars Technica is reporting that the Wisconsin's governor is proposing a tax for downloads. From the article: 'Wisconsin's Democratic governor thinks it's not fair that tangible items get taxed while downloads, like music, ebooks, software, etc., go completely untaxed. So, he proposes to rectify the situation by having Wisconsin's 5% state sales tax apply to Internet downloads.'"

    Sarcasm aside, the post you are referring to seems to be fully accurate. I am not sure what world you live in.
