Excerpts:
McCain vowed to resist any efforts to water down the three-year
Internet tax moratorium that he helped sponsor
and that has
been signed into law.
Note: I wonder how this plays with ICANN's plans to charge
a $1.00
for each registration of a domain name??
also:
News.com: You helped sponsor the three-year Internet
tax moratorium that is now law. What happens
after that
ends?
McCain: I have confidence that this 16-member
commission
[set up to recommend tax policies after the
moratorium expires]
will come up with some reasonable proposals
that will help
local authorities to gain some revenue but
yet not strangle this
infant in the cradle. I would stoutly resist
any efforts to
circumvent either the intent or the letter
of the legislation.
Even after last year's big holiday shopping
binge online,
does the Internet commerce industry still
need
protection?
It is still in its embryonic stages--and besides,
I'm against
taxes anyway.
Note: I would say that it is not looking very good for that
$1.00
tax/fee anytime soon...
Regards and enjoy,
