The Internet will Soon be Vulnerable to Taxation.

The Internet tax moratorium will expire on November 1, 2007. Congressman Jim Walsh is a co-sponsor of H.R. 743, this bill amends the Internet Tax Freedom Act to make permanent the ban on State taxation of Internet access. It also prohibits the application of multiple or discriminatory taxes on electronic commerce.

H.R. 743 has 237 co-sponsors, suggesting the bill would have little trouble passing the full House if called for a vote. Recent reports by me on this blog board have called attention to the attack on the internet by our countries leaders who are constantly looking for ways to pay for things. Taxation being their favorite. This bill, however would be a complete upset to the millions of internet users who would see their already high internet service bills skyrocket.

This bill will act with discriminatory animosity toward everyone who already is dependent on the internet for their careers, jobs, and school. This measure to protect the internet from taxation must be supported by every concerned citizen who believes that the last bastion of free speech must remain as pristine and untouched as when it first began.

Our nation has a reputation, for excessive spending, making bad laws, and then rarely to never fixing the problems those laws created in the first place. We need to send a message to our leaders that we will not allow the continuous and unrelenting policy of taxation ruin our lives, and our ability to prosper any more than it already has. Voice your opinion and call your Congressman and tell them not to tax the Internet.
