No New Taxes
Posted by: Chris Cannon |
The American Spectator highlights the Cell Phone Tax Moratorium this morning.
TheWall Street Journal gives credit to Sen. McCain for trying to protect consumers from excessive, confusing, and duplicate taxes on wireless communications, aka mobile phone service. While Mr. McCain must share the credit with Reps. Zoe Lofgren and Chris Cannon, he was indeed the first to press for a halt in the states’ shameless milking of your cell phone bill. His Cell Phone Tax Moratorium Act, introduced in January, proposes a three-year moratorium on new cell phone taxes that unduly burden wireless consumers, compared with other communications services.
This tax moratorium is almost identical to the Conyers-Cannon Internet Tax Moratorium.
