      Net Taxes – Too Tempting a Target

      The target and pile of money is just too sweet to ignore: taxes on the net economy, taxes on DSL and Cable modem access.

      And, with Democrats in firm control of Congress – it looks like it is pretty much inevitable that the Federal ban on such taxes will be overturned later this year.

      Consider the tax man’s dilemma: Cigarette tax revenue is down in most states, telephone use taxes down. And the public in a surly mood with gasoline taxes, property rate increase, toll road fees and a thousand other levys large and small.

      I just wonder how long the city fathers will wait until they can find some loophole in the cable franchise language to tax uploads and downloads delivered through the cable network- even if there is no cable tv being used at all.
