Antonio Villaraigosa: Keep Your Hands Off The Internet!

We knew that Tony Villar's Measure S phone tax was a big scam.

The Mayor has been selling the tax as a tax reduction when in reality it's a tax increase. Why? Because a court struck down the tax hence cutting the tax to zero for you. The philandering Tony Villar is trying to revive all but 1% of the tax. He says the City needs the money but Walter Moore details how this is a crock of BS.

However the latest news is that Measure S has the potential to tax the Internet. The Villaraigosa Administration will be able to tax text messages, instant messaging, MySpace, blogs, whatever. And they're salivating at the opportunity to do so.

Currently, US law protects the Internet from being taxed by the Federal government, state or local governments. However, we're probably one Hillary away from losing that protection.

But we can do something about it. Vote no on Measure S. And while you're at it, make a donation to Walter Moore's campaign if you want to put an end to this type of nonsense.
