"State and local tax officials are salivating at the prospect of sinking their fangs into the Internet, one of the last remaining outlets of tax freedom in this country," Adam Thierer, director of telecommunications studies at the Cato Institute, a libertarian think tank in Washington, told UPI.

No one knows for sure which type of bill will emerge -- a permanent moratorium or a temporary one -- or whether it will all Internet access tax-free.

The White House backs a permanent ban on taxes, and the issue might become more politicized during this year's election campaign involving President George W. Bush and, presumably, Sen. John F. Kerry, D-Mass.

"I'm not sure how John Kerry would vote on this -- he'd probably be both for and against it," said Norquist, in response to a question by UPI.

This is an excerpt of a great UPI piece -- carried by the WashTimes. One does wonder if Kerry would embrace the idea of a tax on Internet access to fund all of his liberal plans for government spending.
