The era of tax-free email, internet shopping and broadband connections could end this fall, if recent proposals in the US Congress prove successful. State and local governments this week resumed a push to lobby Congress for far-reaching changes on two different fronts: gaining the ability to impose sales taxes on internet shopping, and being able to levy new monthly taxes on DSL and other connections. One senator is even predicting taxes on email.
It is vital that these proposals are not successful and it is up to you US citizens to call your Congressmen and your Senators and tell them how outraged you feel about this taxation. It will affect EVERYONE who buys anything on the internet.
Senators and Congressmen will listen to public outrage and this is URGENT as this bill could be voted in very quickly.
For those of you who have never voted in an election before, you still have the right to an opinion. Your local representatives will listen to you. Find out which district you are in and who your representatives are and let them know.
Every internet sale would be subject to sales taxes. If you buy something on the internet and you are sending it to someone in another country, they too will be affected.
Please act now to stop this draconian taxation from becoming law.
Thank you.
