It is subject to Obola’s veto?

Permanent, until a future congress decides to tax it. They have no ability to make a permanent law.

US Senate passed a House Bill by a vote of 75 to 20 to keep access to the Internet tax free forever, instead of merely a stop-gap measure they have passed eight times before. Under the measure States that already tax Internet access will have until 2020 to phase out their access taxes. Those states are Hawaii, New Mexico, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, Texas, and Wisconsin. President Obama has indicated he will sign the bill. -- PING!

Internet access to remain tax free forever. . .
Or until Congress changes its mind.

This is more meaningless garbage from the GOPe Congress.

This Congress had the opportunity to defund Obamacare, defund Amnesty, shut down the government, and file Articles of Impeachment against Obama. However, the GOPe refused to do its duty.

This GOPe Congress needs to be voted out of office for once and for all.

This would be, in fact, a Biden BFD.

If you like your internet access tax free, you can keep your internet access tax free.

Period.

They need to do away with Al Gore’s telephone tax too.

It pays for wi-fi, computers, ObamaPhones, etc. for schools, the homeless, welfare recipients, etc.

The amount the tax pulls in every year is in the billions.

"Congress Makes Internet Access Tax Ban Permanent "

A "permanent tax ban" is no barrier to a greedy pigressive.

[Yogafist]

Really? 75-20 vote and we are expected to cheer the losers that make up the Republican party in the Senate? Come on, the democrats had no desire to start taxing their constituent’s access to internet porn. That is the only reason this passed.

[aimhigh]

I wouldn’t mind a penny tax on emails to fund an Internet police force, to track down hackers, virus creators, etc.

[Boomer]

This is good news. Now if they would make buying anything on the Internet tax free; it would be even better.

[r_barton]

They should put a $1.00 tax on each gallon of internet you use. ;-)

So what...are we supposed to thank them or congratulate them on agreeing (for now anyway) *not* to tax this one small part of our lives? Sorry, guess I'm feeling a bit cynical this AM...
