U.S. Representative John Campbell (R-Calif.) introduced on Friday legislation to permanently protect Internet commerce from discriminatory taxes and disallow taxation on Internet use...

... "We don't want to retard the growth or use of the Internet by having states or localities tax it," said Campbell. "So, if the state of California decided 'we're going to put a tax on shoes sold on the Internet because there are lots of shoes being sold and we want to make money off of that,' this prohibits that from happening..."

Ditto. How come that kind of thinking is not present in the Bush administration?

Fiscal conservativism is a principle unknown to Shrub admin. Did you see the ruckus about need to elevate borrowing bracket up another ~800 billion dollars or US will defolt on it's foreign debt? Only 2 weeks to wait till Sh#t will hit the fan...
