Don't Tax Me!

Tod Sharp posted today about the expiration of the Federal Internet Tax Mortatorium scheduled for Nov 1. While the US taxes probably won't affect me directly over here in Europe there will undoubtedly be an indirect consequences.

This affect would probably be felt by a reduction in new services, innovation (less dollars for R&D) and overall reduction in investment dollars.

While the US is not entirely responsible for "all" the Internet innovations, the low entry barriers for starting a new business and the willingness to "give it a go" that is the American entrepreneurial spirit would be hampered by adding the burden of additional taxes.

I would highly encourage you to head over to Don't Tax our Web and get informed and make your voice heard.
