Arbitrary technology taxes
By Kristoffer Bohmann, Bohmann Usability
Arbitrary technology taxes. Los Angeles officials believe they have a right to impose property taxes on several satellites. The absurd initiative was rejected by a state board earlier this week. When governments start their creative taxation circus, they usually find lots of other absurd taxation objects. Imagine how similar ideas could be used on the Web:
- Tax every page view on the Web, nobody else is doing it.
- Tax every email on the Web. No one, nobody else is doing it.
- Define every website as property and tax it.
- Define every article and product description as property. Tax it since nobody else does it.
There are only two certain things in life: death and taxes.
