cryztalwing Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 You could have to start paying taxes to use the Internet soon. The existing internet tax moratorium is to end in November, but S. 156/H.R. 743 could make it permanent. Here is a way to for you to let Congress know that you don't want to pay taxes for using the Internet and tell them to make the tax moratorium permanent. http://www.capwiz.com/freedomworks/issu ... d=10266881 You can also use the Gun Owners of America action center to send a message, thow you do have to write out your own message there. http://www.gunowners.org/activism.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercifull Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 Impossible. You could tax access (ISPs) but not the internet itself. That's just stupid.

cryztalwing Posted October 3, 2007 Author Share Posted October 3, 2007 Than let Congress know that you don't want them taxing the Internet..Here is a good message you can send for using the Gun Owners of America action Center... [hide]Dear [Lawmaker]: Since 1998, national lawmakers in Washington, D.C., have successfully protected American consumers' Internet access from being burdened by multiple state and local taxes. The bad news for consumers is that current laws that keep our Internet access tax-free will expire on November 1, 2007. Legislation is currently being debated in both houses of Congress to keep taxes off Internet access, for good. The 'Permanent Internet Tax Freedom Act of 2007' ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Ãâ H.R.743 and S.156 ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Ãâ is overwhelmingly bi-partisan legislation, originally renewed in 2001 and again in 2004, that would permanently prevent Internet access taxes, as well as preventing multiple and discriminatory taxes on electronic commerce. Only a limited number of legislative days now remain in the current session of Congress for making the prohibition of Internet access taxation permanent. Wireless, and also the Internet, are two of the most incredible and ever-evolving resources at the fingertips of the American consumer today. Wireless is increasingly becoming Americans' "service of choice," and consumers today depend on it for staying connected, but also for mobile Internet content, email, music, gaming, video and more. Passage of the ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâ¹ÃâPermanent Internet Tax Freedom Act of 2007ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢ by Congress is the much-needed first step towards permanently extending the existing moratorium on Internet taxation, once and for all. This is overwhelmingly pro-consumer legislation that will keep the Internet both accessible and affordable, right in the hands of the American wireless consumer. You can support the American wireless and Internet consumer, and protect and encourage the continued growth of these amazing resources today. I strongly encourage you to continue to protect American consumers, and work to achieve the bi-partisan goal of ensuring affordable Internet access to all Americans. More than 243 million American wireless consumers today, many of whom now access mobile Internet content on-the-go, are increasingly saddled with an already unfair tax burden by their state and local governments. Passage of the 'Permanent Internet Tax Freedom Act of 2007' would prevent further taxes that limit consumer choice, delay innovation, and often require consumers to pay more for service. I appreciate your support, and I thank you for your leadership on this critical issue in the 110th Congress.[/hide] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meol Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 Well, the Congress could still tax access to the Internet, but that'd simply make the prices higher. Or they could tax websites... :shock: This signature is intentionally left blank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denismage Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 Well, the Congress could still tax access to the Internet, but that'd simply make the prices higher. Or they could tax websites... :shock: Tax separate websites? That's irrational, if they do it, the amount of visitors will plummet, since no one will want to pay just to access a page on the internet.
