Mount Airy, MD | New Tax Agenda The Democrat Party has stated that it will not renew any Bush tax cuts. I wonder if this tax ban is one of those that they won't bother to renew.

| said by pnh102:The Democrat Party has stated that it will not renew any Bush tax cuts. I wonder if this tax ban is one of those that they won't bother to renew. Two Points:
1. The name of the party, as incorporated, is "The Democratic Party". If we are gonna leave letters out, then I think I will call the other guys "Repubics". 
2. Huge leap of logic, in the service of FUD. There has never been an Internet Access Tax. In fact, the ban started back during the Clinton Administration, as a bipartisan effort.
Now, I think Karl should take away your privilege of writing the phrase "Bush Bashing" for 2 weeks. |

In fact, the ban started back during the Clinton Administration, as a bipartisan effort. We can both agree though, that if we can dream it, they can tax it, and that goes for both parties.

Firstly not a tax cut and secondly not a Bush tax cut. This is Clinton era legislation. |

Mount Airy, MD | said by PamelaTS:This is Clinton era legislation. I know this, however, the next few budget proposals set forth by the Democrats include provisions that do not extend the other tax cuts made by Bush. My question is, since they want these tax cuts to expire, would they want to allow for other tax cuts, including the one on Internet access, to expire as well.

| Again it is not a tax cut as it never existed. The question in '98 was to allow states to tax this new medium or not. This evolved to a ban on taxation. |

true conservatives (not our current president or the republican controlled congress of late) believe in smaller government, less taxes, etc. even a cursory look at the past 6 years will clear up any confusion you have that you support true conservatives. record deficit, record debt, runaway spending by congress, failure of Bush to veto any spending bill (despite being bloated with pork)... no wonder the public is abandoning the republican party in droves. |

Clinton was a centrist with a republican congress. Not only is congress party changed hands, but committee chairs are under the most populist, leftist, socialist individuals in the Democra(ic) party.
I think this ban has a good chance of being lifted with the current batch of losers in control, which should pave the way for "repubic" congress in 2008 |

But you go ahead and keep quoting the delusions of OxyRush, O'Loofah, Savage Weiner, Dreck and the others. Not that it will get you any closer to any objectively discernable reality, but hey, everybody needs a hobby, I reckon. |

said by pnh102:The Democrat Party has stated that it will not renew any Bush tax cuts. I wonder if this tax ban is one of those that they won't bother to renew. This wasn't a Bush tax cut. The Internet Access tax ban began in the 90's and was heavily pushed for by Democrats, including, yes, Bill Clinton.
Now, It may have been re-upped under this administration (I think it was) but you can hardly call it a Bush Tax Cut. Also, it would be interesting to see where the Democratic party declared that. Everything I heard said they want to restructure them so they effect the average American more favorable and work on the debt.
Course, it's all politics.

said by PamelaTS:Firstly not a tax cut and secondly not a Bush tax cut. This is Clinton era legislation. Remember the Republican Mantra: Blame everything they don't like on the Democrats and the Clinton administration, and: Take credit for everything positive that ever came from said Administration.
