The Republican Party of Texas Platform has been MUCH in the news of late because it is a CONSERVATIVE document and, as such, VERY controversial. I thought it would be an instructive exercise, for those of us who wish to do so here, to go through it plank by plank and see where we stand on these issues. Pursuant to that, I will post ONE plank of the Platform, every few days and anyone who wishes to can state their views as to that particular part of the platform.

Today, under the heading Strengthening The Economy Of Texas And America sub-heading Tax Burden we find the following plank :

Internet Taxation - The Party opposes any taxation of the internet or internet services.

I have decided to score myself by assigning a score of between 0 and 10 points to each of the planks! 10 means I agree with EVERYTHING in it. 0 means I agree with NOTHING in it.

10 more points brings my running score to this point to 1146 of a possible 1260.

Amen. And this is likely to become a big battle nationwide as states try to increase their sales tax revenue.

10 points. Not going to get much dissent on this plank. I like these easy ones.
