Exercise my right to bear arms: Done

Exercise my right to be a proactive citizen with said arms: In process

Internet Tax is evil. Information should never, EVER, be taxed.

[Zodiac]

If you post on anyother forums it would be great if you could post this there too.

[EarlyDawn]

Information should be free. Or else you get Government AIs crawling out of the woodwork fighting for their freedom.

...We're so screwed.

[Incompetent]

Sent one off, probably a useless gesture but no reason not to.

[Hamma]

It doesent matter what I send my senator, they will do whatever they want anyway. It isnt about what the people want anymore

[Nimbus]

True, but I'm sending anyway.

[EarlyDawn]

I don't really understand how this would work. The internet is a noncentralized, international system. How can you "tax" the U.S. portion?

Feel free to use vast technical terms, I'll probably be able to follow.

[Rbstr]

you could tax it because a company has to provide the email service( or a home user with a server and a domian), and E-mail is all traceable. and companies that make the software (like Micrasoft) would have to right it into thier software

[Happy lil Elf]

What exactly are they proposing a tax on? The ability to use the internet? On ISPs? What?

[EarlyDawn]

Yeah, some more information on what is being taxed, exactly, would be nice.

I remember Hillary Clinton was trying to put a $.25 tax on every email sent. Talk about totally reaming the telecommunication and ISP industry.

[Spee]

Tax is going on every e-transaction made, ISP service, and a bunch of other sheeit.

[Squeeky]

Signed.
