CA Lawmaker Proposes 'E-Mail Tax' to Fund Postal Service... V

[Ponce]

As told by Ponce long ago.....I can only wonder why it took so long and how they are going to charge it....
=============================================

BERKELEY (CBS SF) – A Berkeley city councilman has suggested that a tax on email may be wise way to help fund the United States Postal Service, according to the blog Berkeleyside.
District 8 Supervisor Gordon Wozniak, who represents an area that includes the Claremont Hotel and the eastern end of the UC Berkeley campus, made the comments Tuesday as city officials moved to halt the sale of a Post Office building on Allston Way due to a decline in business.
“There should be something like a bit tax. I mean a bit tax could be a cent per-gigabit and they would still make, probably, billions of dollars a year…And there should be, also, a very tiny tax on email,” Wozniak said at Tuesday’s meeting.

Yeah, gotta keep the dying technology alive at the expense of modern, more efficient technology. I wonder why they haven't taxed electric lights to keep the candle makers in business?

In that case they should have a special tax on cars to upkeep the horse and buggies...... the Mormos would appreciate it.

And the list could go on and on. The moral of the story is, government inhibits and restricts progress, not encourages it.
