Comments on: Government study: VoIP, video can be taxed

Federal auditors review the tax laws and say state and local governments have leeway to levy Net taxes.

Taxation without...

Now let me get this straight, the local state government can tax our internet use?

So they force our small business to go paperless filing of already ridiculous Use tax, and now want to tax the ONLY method to file their local tax in the first place???

And who will collect and enforce these taxes? The ISP? Is this financing the Spanish American War as well? (sarcasm)

I'm afraid that greed will be the demise of humanity. Not war. Not famine. Political greed.

I feel your pain

That seems to be the way of things...

Taxed on the income you earn; taxed again when you spend it. It even works for objects... a car gets tax paid on it when it is first sold and tax gets paid on it again by someone else when it is resold as a used car.

Doesn't it make you happy to work hard and pay your taxes so the government can give it to a welfare mom so she can afford to get pregnant with yet another child. I'm just as happy as you.

Perhaps we should change the generic John Doe to Ben Dover.

It's time to clear out GAO deadwood.

These overpaid bean counters need to get taken off the government payroll. Why do we waste our Federal taxes on people like this? Write your Congressemen and Senators and ask them to take the necessary action to give the axe to James R. White, Michael Springer, Assistant Director; Bert Japikse; Shirley A. Jones; Lawrence M. Korb; Walter K. Vance; and Bethany C. Widick.

The first thing these jerks should have done is phone the drafting legislators and ask them what the text of the law means.
