Carly Fiorina's Hypocrisy on Internet Taxation
KGO-7 via YouTube ^ | 10 February 2010

Posted on 02/10/2010 9:16:14 PM PST by CounterCounterCulture

Carly Fiorina has a problem. She accuses one of her opponents of supporting taxes on the Internet when she has a long-held record of supporting the same. ABC News 7 investigates her history supporting Internet taxation going all the way back to the year 2000. They missed her saying she supported Internet taxes in late 2009 at the Web 2.0 Conference.

I sure hope DeVore can defeat Fiorina. She’d be a disaster, a RINO to match Arnold.

HP conributions go to Barbara Boxer, not Carly Fiorina

So far, Hewlett-Packard has given the maximum amount to Sen. Barbara Boxer but hasn't contributed toward its own former CEO, Carly Fiorina, campaign finance reports show.Boxer has received the maximum $10,000 from Hewlett-Packard's political action committee toward her re-election, including $3,000 in the last quarter of 2009, her campaign reported today.

She’s a woman, she gets to change her mind. She can’t be supporting it now or of course she would be a hypocrite.

Transaction taxes are done by all the big retailers these days. These are sales taxes that she was referring to, and at the time in 2000, it was a big issue.

The ad she put up was talking about taxing the internet service it's self. The two are not related because one has already been done by law and the other needs a law to do it.

I suspect the FCC will likely do it without Congressional action if we don't stop them.

I saw Chuck DeVore on Glenn Beck the other day and I liked everything I heard him say.
