Stop them now – no net access taxes!

by Jeff OBryant

You’re taxed when you earn, when you spend, when you build, when you own a home, when you die, etc., etc., etc. I’m surprised our government does not tax us on the very air we breathe.

According to this cnet piece, there are only a few months left on a moratorium that restricts state governments from taxing our Internet access and the House recently began the debate over whether the ban should be made justly permanent or allowed to lapse so taxpayers can suffer even more.

If we were not already ripped off to the tune of nearly 50% of our incomes a net access tax would not be so bad. But I frankly don’t care if out state governments are struggling (as many claim) to make their budgets. Indeed, I think it is wonderful that they have to be careful about what they spend.

Write your Senators and Representative and stop government from taking even more away from you.
