Senate debates Net access tax

I agree with Bush: Our government doesn't need to tax everything that takes money. Brick/Mortar biz taxes pay for roads to them, government services to them such as fire dept and police and also to fund government waste.

Internet biz already pays this where it is located. Taxing the internet as the method traffic gets there assumes the government is somehow funding the internet. I see no government benefit to the internet. In fact, everything the government does usually hurts the internet. Private parties are paying for the communication lines. The businesses pay their own taxes for being a business where they are.

Throwing in the sales tax issue detracts from what everybody else is talking about. None of this is about sales tax. That is a whole different issue.

For the *FIRST*TIME* I agree with Bush. I'll still vote against the greedy, lying, anti-citizen, anti-constitution loser we didn't elect the first time but at least I found something we agree on.; Posted by: Mstowelboy2b Posted on: 04/26/04 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
