Tax Free Broadband?

WASHINGTON (AP) - President Bush on Sunday urged Congress to slap a permanent ban on taxes consumers pay for high-speed Internet hookups. Bush has set 2007 as a deadline for providing speedy Internet access called broadband to every American home. To encourage the spread of this technology, Bush says the users shouldn't be taxed, and that the government should take steps to encourage the spread of competitive services.
Bush has already signed into a law a two-year extension of the Internet Access Tax moratorium, which expired in the fall. Now, he's calling on Congress to pass legislation that would extend the moratorium to broadband and make it permanent.


Okay, you so-called conservatives . . . what's the problem with this permanent ban on taxes for broadband?

A) Interferes with state's rights and budgets.
B) Will decrease state revenues, with resulting increase elsewhere.
C) Is another big government "unfunded" Federal mandate.
D) All of the above.
