The tax increase issue will plague everyone in OH for the longest time until we can get a legislature and a governor who will act with the common everyday folks in mind, not their own political agendas. Given I had to pay around $3200 for BOTH federal and state taxes, I seriously doubt the freaking extension helped me at all. I seem to be in the bracket where NOTHING the Republicans do helps my taxes. Ticks me off to no end. #2…no she will move on to what I am sure will be other issues that arise in the 2nd district.

If it is something done- tax it! Typical. If that goes the Dems will certainly push for the extra revenue for the coffers. Bill it under "email tax to help the troops... save education... and save the whales. Perhaps a per volume tax... hit the spammers only. Ha ha. If it moves - tax it! If it is something done- tax it!

Then the average person will know they're off the hook. Then they can package it as a way to go after the big, evil corporations and the criminal spammers. As to the logistics, especially for people who spoof, mask IPs, etc. -- Whoa. Floating the idea as affecting everybody and then pulling back to what I described may be part of the PR strategy to "sell" the tax to the average person. #1, if they’re “smart” (as in devious) they’ll base it on messages sent, exempt the first couple of thousand messages a month.

Seriously, I believe she'll get more points for extending the tax cuts a couple of years than she'll get demerits (deserved, but old news) for what she did in Columbus. Of course, they should have made the whole thing permanent, but that's the fault of people with a lot more clout than her. And if it makes you feel better, the federal extension probably saved you more money than the state increases cost you. :--> Jeez, you’re not going to let your lovely bride talk about what will be a 4-5 year-old tax increase in 2008, are you?

While it sure would generate a hell of a lot of income, can you imagine the logistics controlling the tax...what about messages not sent correctly or returned due to invalid email addresses. How would the tax be collected....how would the counts be controlled....just what anyone needs....government control watching over us to calculate electronic messaging. Talk about BIG BROTHER. And PLEASE PLEASE do NOT let CW Schmidt get ahold of this. She supported a large tax hike in OHIO that cost me hundreds of dollars over the past couple of years.....if she gets ahold of this we would be in trouble. OMG these guys are on crack.
