  2. Re:Wow... on If IP Is Property, Where Is the Property Tax? · · Score: 1, Insightful

    That is not the bigger question, the bigger question is why is there property tax, even for real estate. The framers of this country clearly didn't want the government to have centralized power over our property for any reason. In fact, if you read the constitution, it focuses on decentralization (just like the internet which is a key reason why it works). This is also the reason why everybody thinks the country is divided on like every issue. These issues are not to be determined by some central government, but rather by local government with the most amount of power left to the individual. So if you want property tax on IP, you figure it out where you want. I for one don't want another tax especially when i am trying to come up in the world on top of all the other expenses I would have to pay for.

    You are right on the money, i logged in just to make this point Who are these consumers hes talking about? I can't name a single person that I know that has went out and bought windows separately instead, they are just forced to have it the problem with linux is not that its seems as "cheap" it just isn't an option for most people that are buying a new computer and with dell and other companies offering alternatives now I think the momentum will switch
