Here We Go Again.
Looks like Congress and the Senate are looking to try and pass another internet tax scheme. LINK
I hate to say it, but when a democrat becomes President, a bill like this will grease its way through into law faster than the democrat running from responsibility.

A $1,100 laptop, for instance, could cost online consumers an extra $90.75, if calculated on the 8.25 percent total sales tax charged in Fort Worth.
A $199.95 watch could cost an extra $16.50. And sales taxes on a $10 CD could add an extra .83 cents to the bill, according to Star-Telegram research.

They had to do research to figure out how to multiply by a percentage?
The US education system is in worse shape than I thought.

You have to remember, the Leave no Child Behind act buys it software from Neil Bush at $3800 a copy.
Yes, he is part of THAT family.

Re: Here We Go Again.
Here's a thought, why doesn't the US government simply tax the sending of all emails after the first 1000 per month.
Only spammers would suffer!

Re: Here We Go Again.
They would rather tax us for receiving the email rather than sending it. This way the can bill us for all those government sponsored spammers emails.

Re: Here We Go Again.
That' is the ultimate goal of government. Get the innocent people and punish them while the criminals run free.
