Obama Administration Eyes New Taxes, Fees for National Broadband Network
 

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010...rnet-taxation/

The Obama administration has a plan to expand online innovation and boost national public safety. And it wants to do it with more taxes and higher fees.

The massive national broadband plan the Federal Communications Commission released last month proposes creating a national framework for the taxation of digital goods and services and imposing a fee to establish and maintain a national public safety wireless broadband network.

The FCC says the national tax would eliminate the headaches that come with varying state and local taxes on digital goods and services. And the public safety network would help avoid the communication failures among first responders to the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks and Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.








Does this sound good for our business?:Oh crap:Oh crap:Oh crap:Oh crap:Oh crap

It's time for Change.


(From everyones' wallet)

So it begins. I wonder how ratios will be after this. Nevermind the fact that people will STILL have the state tax on some goods.

Why do you hate America ?

Actually this will ELIMINATE those taxes.

He doesn't. He just doesn't like policies that are bad for the US.

Didn't fox news claim obama wanted to ban sport fishing a few weeks ago?

Yeah making sure everyone has the ability to have internet access is BAD for America. Just like making sure everyone has electricity was bad 75 years ago. Anyone here against the idea that making sure the 20% of America that doesn't have access to broadband has access to it is an idiot. That's more customers.

It makes perfect sense that emrgency responders are able to communicate with each others, even if they happen to not be from the same state. They are all paid with tax money and work for everybody's safety and well being, and we pay for their radios/equipment anyway, so just making sure it's compatible and they're using the same standard regardless of state origin seems very reasonable.

its called get an ICQ number and start chatting

I don't care for more taxes and higher fees.
Taxing everybody to enable access for all is what I oppose.
I'm tired of the attitube that this is a gift economy. You want access, pay for it.

His claim that he wants to expand online innovation and boost national public safety is nothing more than a smokescreen to ram another of his policies down our throats at our expense.

I swear you are retarded. This isn't about FREE internet moron. It's about people who WANT to PAY for broadband but can't get it. They pay taxes too fucktard. People like you 75 years ago were against making sure everyone has access to electricity. Imagine where we would be as a nation if 20% of the US still didn't have access to electricity. if you wish to lvie ina 3rd world nation I suggest you move to one. Those that LOVE America want to see it PROSPER. You obviously hate America.

Oh, I see ... I must have missed the latest memo ... because in 2003 if you posted anything criticising the American Government, you were automatically a |" America Hater " , and " terrorist supporter " ...

So now it is OK to criticize ?

Lol....because I have an opinion that differs from yours I am "retarded" a "fucktard" and I hate America? Take a breath, have a coffee, smoke a cig....relax. It's only a discussion.

Yes...of course. Have at it.

You guys are not getting it, this allows regulation of our business on a tax level, they would not only by-pass state taxes, which the states that have them depend on, but allows the government different tax scales for different enterprises. This just another way the FCC can get in the internet and control it like the air waves, think about what rado stations have to do.



Oh never mind, you'll just say it's ok, because Obama likes it
