At least, on the Internet.

Or, so it seems, so far, at least. No, really! According to this article on InfoWorld, the House has passed a bill that ensures the Internet will never be directly taxed. See for yourself! There’s a copy of the bill online.
Of course, I’m cynical, so I’m sure they’ll either kill this in the Senate. Or, years later, they’ll repeal it and tax every packet that flows over the Internet. Mark my words, the blood-sucking politicians will never let a stream of revenue this good slip past them.
