Should use of the Internet be taxed? Definitely yes. By imposing a small tax on the use of the Internet, our now ridiculous deficit would get a huge help. By charging a very low tax on Internet use, democrats could keep all taxes the same now and not have to raise income tax, clearly the big tax that everyone cares about. Stingy republicans could keep their wealth by choosing not to use the Internet and go back to being racist jerks, and liberal queers can get some more money to fund their crazy anti-American socialist programs. A tax on the Internet would benefit everybody. Think about how many people log on to the Internet each day, the money would rack up overnight! Let's face it, the United States needs to get more money, and an Internet tax could do just that. How exactly an Internet tax would be forced is up to the politicians to decide. We could literally charge citizens every time they connected to the Internet or just tax Internet providers so that they could charge their customers, or any other creative way to fix some of the United States' monetary problems. Who cares if it impedes on the idea of free speech? The cause is just. Support your country. Support an Internet tax.
