One of two items I actually applaud Bush for, yippee skippy. I'm not sure that keeping internet access tax-free will help increase broadband penetration like he says, but it can't hurt it, and it's a tax cut that non-multi-millionaires can actually benefit from 
EDIT: It's been five minutes and no one else has posted? Am I the only user who has to be at work today?  |

Savannah, GA | Nope. I'm about to go to work too.... This law is good news though - with rate hikes by everyone and mysterious additional fees being tacked on by DSL providers the internet is getting to be expensive enough as is.. |

Probably so since it's Saturday. 
Bush signing the four year ban is a good step in the right direction and applaud for him as well in taking this action.
Now it needs to be taken to the next step and be permanent.

If there is one thing about taxes and government, nothing is permanent. If its not in the Bill of Rights, or carries a Constitutional Amendment, the government will tax it.
By "renewing" the tax ban, they are saying "we reserve the right to tax it later" |

All constitutional admendments can be changed dude, all it takes is another constutional admendment to supercede the orginal admendment. Think about the Prohibition Era
Even the Bill of Rights are not immune because they are also admendments to the constitution, no more and no less.
What I said was my opnion, or an idea as well. Just becuase I said it does not mean it will come to be.
Politians are deaf and dumb to ideas and opnions of the citizens they represent becuase they can only hear what the money is talking.
Now please excuse me. I feel like listening to a certain AC/DC song right about now.

No taxation for 4 years will allow it to grow. Then they tax it then and make a killing. Sort of like those $20 a month offers from comcast. After month 6 you get hammered.
