Does anyone know if COLORADO pays broadband taxes?
I think I remember seeing on my COMCAST High-Speed Internet bill something about state & city sales tax under INTERNET taxes, surcharges and fees.
Why do you we pay taxes on services anyway? I thought you only paid taxes on parts and retail items not items like labor and services.
Just curious... |

They don't think that they have to have a reason to collect taxes on anything, the only reason they need is that it is your money and they want it.
Why do I pay state taxes on my DirecTV service when they don't have a physical presence here?
They don't use right of ways or tear up roads, all they do is beam their signal to me but I have to pay the taxes anyway.
I will tell you why I pay these taxes, it because the greedy little bastards want my money any chance they have to get it. And what are they going to do with it? They are going to waste it on some nonsense or give it to some low life that thinks the World owes him something who has never done a honest days work for an honest days pay in his life, but instead he just waits for daddy Government to fork it over to him.
That is the Government's Great Plan to redistribute the wealth of those that do to those that won't. That is why every year I keep track of everything and jump through every legal loophole that I can to see that the least amount of my dimes go to people that won't hit a lick, if it were up to me I would let him starve to death and if he had children they could starve to death too. Maybe seeing his children starve to death would give him some incentive to do something instead of wait for daddy Government to hand it to him on a silver platter with a note that says "Complements of those that do.", wait a minute what am I thinking they don't get a note every month when they get their check telling them that their money comes form those that do, but that would never happen because he might get his little feelings hurt and we wouldn't want that now would we.
Just how much pride can a man have that has never done anything for himself? |

| I did.
I was the third person to have DirecTV in my town, first was the owner of Crabtree Furniture Company, second was the Mayor of our town, and then me. I also installed theirs too. I bought two deluxe receivers with deluxe remotes, dish with dual output LNB, and a self-install kit that came with wiring and a cheap little compass.
I have had DirecTV service since day one and I think that I paid about $1200.00 for all of my equipment.
It is not that hard to do because it comes with a manual and as a side benefit you can even see the satellites at night.
All you need is a little common sense and some mechanical aptitude and the will to do it. |
