Please use this link to voice your opposition to internet taxes by emailing your Senator. It's very easy to do, and if you please, send the link to everyone in your address book.

Exercise my right to free speech by e-mailing this to my senator: Done

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.

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

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

...We're so screwed.

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

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

Nimbus · 2003-11-17, 04:04 PM

True, but I'm sending anyway.

EarlyDawn · 2003-11-17, 04:06 PM

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.

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 · 2003-11-17, 06:27 PM

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

EarlyDawn · 2003-11-17, 06:45 PM

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 · 2003-11-17, 06:47 PM

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

Squeeky · 2003-11-17, 07:11 PM
