It appears that the Republicans and Democrats in Washington want to tax the internet as a way of supressing our freedoms. The Republicans and Democrats accuse the Government of China of using firewalls and other censoring monitors but are willing to supress the freedoms of people who do not agree with them by taxing the internet. I have something to say to those who want to tax the Internet. The people who favour monitoring and taxing the internet [including the Republicans and Democrats] are nothing more than just a bunch of totalitarian elitists bitten by the totalitarian elitist bug that has terrorized us for a long time and worsened after 2001.

We the People who have formed this Perfect Union dissolved the links with Great Britain over taxation without representation. We are taxed in everything including the air we breathe. It is these taxes that have made countries like the United States of America a place where those who are well off just pack their bags and leave. Our money and taxes will go to the Elitist War in Iraq and other areas that are of no concern. Our Money and Taxes will go to Republicans and Democrats for their pet projects such as a $50,000 Toilet Seat for the Pentagon. We never receive any notification about what our taxes will be used for and we are never heard by State, Federal, County, and Municipal Governments that claim to represent us but only represent a small segment of the population.

Instead of monitoring and taxing the Internet, I propose another form of taxation. I am in favour of taxing all political parties since they are a business. Political Parties and Politicians are a big business venture designed to make us suffer with their totalitarian elitist thoughts of domination. Let us defend our freedom when we still have it and say no to Internet Taxation and No to Totalitarian Elitists such as the Republicans and Democrats.

The Internet was created to promote exchange of ideas and too enlighten us. It has also helped people in their school work as well as presentations. The Internet may have its dark and seamy side but when properly used, it has a lot of benefits that outweigh any reason to tax it.
