States are salivating at the prospect of taxing the Internet in ways we can't even imagine. Take a look at your next phone bill and add up all the taxes and fees (close to a 40% rate on mine)....that is what is in store for all Internet users if the states are allowed to tax the Internet. The arguements that the states are losing all this revenue from lost sales tax is bunk. They just want a new source of taxation.

I agree. States that are Internet friendly and support Internet activity within the state fail to recognize the jobs and prosperity that the net creates and supports. Politicians, being ever so short sighted, will eventually get enough support for taxing the Internet. Will the Internet have the courage to throw them a "Tea Party"? I hope so.
