Senator Warns of Email Tax This Fall
cnet-declan writes "State and local governments in Washington this week began an all-out lobbying push for the power to tax the Internet, according to our article at News.com. A new Senate bill would usher in Internet sales taxes, and the Federation of Tax Administrators (representing state tax collectors) advised senators at a hearing on Wednesday not to renew a temporary moratorium limiting broadband taxes that expires in November. One irked Republican senator warned that unless the moratorium is renewed, we could start seeing email taxes by the end of the year. Former House Majority Leader Dick Armey blames it on the Democrats taking over, as do Yahoo and eBay lobbyists. Is this a non-hoax version of bill 602P?"
Hey, sure, let's tax e-mails. And while we're at it, how bout we let any mentally disturbed idiot obtain guns and go shoot his school mates!
(We'll politely ignore the fact that the innocent school girls whom the NRA assume carry guns to protect themselves are thankful guns are so easy to obtain).
YOU ESS AYE.. YOU ESS AYE!
(Americans on average are really dumb. British on average are really selfish.)
I've an idea, let's just shoot the buggers instead. In fact, if we take out the politicians the the corporate bosses, perhaps we could start running our own lives for ourselves. That sounds like a nice idea, and I know that I could handle it.
Probably people will disagree, perhaps because they think they couldn't handle the responsibility of having to police themselves instead of having the police do it for them...
I wank in the shower.
On immigration, and the treatment of "non-citizens", he's a damn racist. He can take that long walk off the short pier also. Feel free to spew all you want about the "necessity" of controlling the borders. I know why they exist.
What?
