California faggit wants to tax email

[zhukov]

Gordon Wozniak, a Berkeley city councilman, proposed taxing email messages during a recent city council meeting in an effort to reduce the spread of “spam,” or unwanted emails.
Wozniak also said an email tax could raise money to keep the U.S. Postal Service functioning.
“There should be something like a bit tax … [it] could be a cent per gigabit and they would make, probably, billions of dollars a year,” he said.
Wozniak claimed the gigabit tax would prevent scammers from sending spam emails to thousands of recipients at a time.
The Internet Tax Freedom Act, which was passed by former President Bill Clinton, currently bans many forms of Internet taxation. But the act expires next year.

Not really. It's not like spammers follow the letter of the law as it is. They would circumvent the tax, and everyone else would be paying it.

i think they tried this like 20 years ago; failed then, will fail again

[gilaet]

Fucking liberal fuckheads. They don't want to work and try to fix what is wrong with the postal service but just throw another tax on the people and we'll get all of that nice new revenue.
