Socialism. Always can find something for government to tax.

To Socialists, taxation is a fetish with them.

Leftists would tax you for wiping your ass if they could get away with it.

Google sells your information to advertisers/companies. (”If you aren’t the customer, you’re the product.”)

If there was a way for Google to re-emburse/pay people whose information they make money off of…

But not the state.

If I run an ad blocker and web companies don't make as much money from me, do I get a tax cut or get arrested for tax evasion?

quote “We need a new approach to make sure that taxes are paid where revenue and profit is made”

um... dude... the companies already pay taxes on the revenue and profits they make in these “barter” transactions!

WTH!

Are liberals worldwide braindamaged?!!?

They already do that. They provide support for a free browser capability (as do others).

Wow, what took those a-holes so long to think of that? I cannot think of one thing in my life that is not taxed. Get ready America, some dipsh*t libtard Demrat will introduce something such as this. Just think we started a bloody revolutionary war partly because of a tax on tea.

To quote the poet Milhous, “F*** em, they don’t vote for us anyway.”

Google is evil. Somewhat more evil than MSFT, slightly less evil than FB.
