Comments on news posted 2003-11-26 15:24:35: Congress will be heading home for the holidays without solving the Internet tax ban riddle that's been facing them for months. States and providers worry about lost revenue, while many believe taxing connectivity could stifle broadband growth. ..

Most hated word in english TAX

I would be down with a tax if the money was used to lay fiber or something good. Of course they would find the most lazy mafia family run fiber laying company around to do the work. So until I can trust them to use the money wisely they can kiss my a$$ and keep their greedy paws off the net. Which will be no time soon. Why cant they just use my idea of taxing every mexican crossing the border?

and they still forget a word...

"Potential"

Potential losses. You can't lose what you don't get.

I'd rather not have the internet taxed. I'm already 'taxed' on accessing it. I'm already taxed enough as it is.

My name is Tax

I think the united states of america should be renamed to united taxes of america.
Seems like the Gov't is tax crazy.
Soon people are going to revolt like they did in Bostin with the Boston Tea Party.

  Actually, if you think about it.... The American Revolution started with less than is going on today. Throw taxes, war and econmy in the mix... its a wonder there has been a revolution yet!

NO, I'm not advertising for one... just saying that's all.

Oh my gosh living in the U.S. feels like spending a weekend at Michael Jackson's house.

Anything else Uncle Sam?? (bends over & prepares for pain).

I already pay tax, on tax on tax on everything else. They don't need to tax the internet. They need to reform the way that they spend their money. If they spent their money the way they were supposed to they'd have enough. Of course this isn't going to happen, and I wouldn't be shocked if they went ahead and taxed us.

 bah..

They need to keep their paws off the net, I already have to pay a horrible 9.75% sales tax on stuff I buy local like food and household goods (yes even these can be purchased online but i'm not too keen on the idea of .com food just yet)

It's nice to have a little reprieve once in a while and not get bent over when it comes to high dollar items like pc hardware, etc. that I buy online, NO WAY am I paying 9.75% on that stuff local..

They won't be happy till they have a tax on everything, then they'll try to tax the taxes too. I hate the government, would total chaos be all that bad? We wouldn't have to pay taxes.

I wouldn't mind an internet tax is they just stopped taxing primary domiciles instead.
The primary things like food, shelter and clothing should NEVER be taxed.
We have a growing homeless problem in this country, and an increasing portion is former homeowners who were evicted for 'tax delinquency'. Our town is selling out over a million dollars in back tax liens this month. Those poor folks will be sleeping on the streets next month.

As far as an internet tax goes, it's a matter of distribution of tax burden. If they don't ease up somewhere else, inevitably some people will do without it.

We DO need another revolution, but the education system has made 'good little socialists' out of the present generation. Furthermore, the average resident is too busy working a slave labor job for starvation wages and drinking beer and watching porn on the weekends to be too concerned about it. That's also why folks use drugs--to escape a reality they are powerless to change. Government is the source of ALL problems. It is never a solution.
