[Chicago, November 26, 2003]
Extension of Net access tax ban dead for year

State and local governments, backed by Sen. George Voinovich, (R-Ohio)
and Senator Lamar Alexander, (R-Tennessee) opposed the expanded
measure, saying it would curb states' authority to tax existing
telecommunications services.

Since I am from Tennessee which is being *** by the Taxlamaniac
Alexandra, I am posting this to ask all Tennesseans to write the
Taxlamaniac Alexandra and tell it that you do not want your Internet
taxed. Next thing you know, the Taxlamaniac Alexandra will be going
after taxes on your medicine and food. You can send your views on the
Taxlamaniac Alexandra's support of an Internet tax to it via its web
site at:

[Routers start]
Congress banned taxes on Internet access until Nov. 1, 2003, with some
exceptions to expire Oct. 1, 2006. The bill now before Congress would
make those taxing bans permanent. Since most people don't like any
kind of taxes, why shouldn't the ban be permanent?

Alexandra said some senators seemed surprised when he suggested the
proposed permanent ban on state and local taxation is "an unfunded
federal mandate." But, Alexander insisted, it "is an unfunded mandate,
plainly in violation of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995..."
[Routers end]

In other words, the federal government in a moment of weakness had a
bill that would protect the public from local and state tax supporters
but a few taxlamaniacs like Alexandra are trying to squash it.
Alexandra is for the taxation of the Internet. It doesn't matter if
it's the feds or state doing the taxing, it will still be felt in the
pockets of the poor consumers.

Alexandra and others of its immoral ilk are taxlamaniacs and a threat
to the public.

People from other states had best check and see what their political
animals are doing concerning this and start writing letters, sending
emails and making phone calls if you don't want your internet taxed to
hell and back.
