AdWatch: The Internet Tax Woman Cometh
October 19, 2007, 10:00pm
The House this week passed a bill to extend a moratorium on taxing Internet access another four years before it expires Nov. 1, but when Senate Republicans later moved to vote on a permanent ban, Democrat Mary Landrieu objected on behalf of her colleague, Thomas Carper of Delaware. Now she’s the target of an online video by the National Republican Senatorial Committee that portrays her as the Internet tax woman.
“Mary Landrieu would apparently rather you be taxed each time you log on to the Internet to pay a bill, get directions or send an e-mail,” NRSC Communications Director Rebecca Fisher said in a press release touting the video. “I guess she figures she has voted for higher taxes on almost everything else, why not the Internet. What is Mary Landrieu’s objection with permanently extending the Internet tax ban?”
