[ I never would have guessed that government control of the internet would result in the government also taxing the use of internet. ]
They are sneaky they will tax the ISPs so then when the customer complains about high internet prices the government will have yet another excuse to “fix” a problem by taking MORE control....
[ Well, at least we don’t have to worry about the government trying to tax the distance one travels in his own car. ]
There is talk about putting a box in cars to tax per mile driven since new fuel economy cars are not “generating enough revenue” for the fat pig polticians...
Every car already has such a record of miles driven...it's called an "odometer".
No, the real reason for this box is so that the gov't can have an excuse to put a two-way tracking device on your vehicle, so they can tell everywhere you have gone......
Surprise, surprise, surprise!

Remember in the first few months of the Gore tax on phone lines and the phone companies actually had the courage to list it as a separate line item. Then that got quashed pretty quickly, but I don't remember the legal justification as to why it was rolled into the bill rather than kept as separate line item (the real reason was that people got angry about it so it had to be hidden).
