No new Internet taxes

''It's just not fair!" Parents often hear these words from children who want the new toy that "everyone else has." Unfortunately, some state governments have a selfish demand of their own for Congress: Allow them to form a cartel capable of taxing most purchases made on the Internet. Virginia gubernatorial candidate Mark Warner may be sympathetic to this ploy, having recently stated that tax policy can't "continue to put bricks and mortar [businesses] forever at a disadvantage" with e-commerce firms.

Why not scan the New York Timess. You should be able to make your point in three paragraphs or less. BARF.

The Internet is one of the few bright spots of freedom on the horizon. Taxing it is foolish. We need to restrict government, not fatten it.
