Berkeley Councilman Proposes Email Tax To Fund Postal Service

Ridicule no more!

From SFCBSLocal.com:

BERKELEY (CBS SF) – A Berkeley city councilman has suggested that a tax on email may be a wise way to help fund the United States Postal Service, according to the blog Berkeleyside.

District 8 Supervisor Gordon Wozniak, who represents an area that includes the Claremont Hotel and the eastern end of the UC Berkeley campus, made the comments Tuesday as city officials moved to halt the sale of a Post Office building on Allston Way due to a decline in business.

But shoot, the tax would only be teensy-weensy:

“There should be something like a bit tax. I mean a bit tax could be a cent per-gigabit and they would still make, probably, billions of dollars a year.  And there should be, also, a very tiny tax on email,” Wozniak said at Tuesday’s meeting.

Nineteen Eighty-Four, here we come, freedoms-a-vanishing!

Let’s just serve up a heaping helping of US citizens as collective Frogs In The Boiling Pot, eh?

Remember what I wrote last post about a new Leftist abrogation every day?

Validated.

Perhaps it’s time for a replay of this wondrous classic whose creation was more prescient than the Amazing Kreskin:

“Be thankful I don’t take it all.”

“And you’re working for no one but me.”

  1. They’ve been salivating over the chance to get their steely little tax fingers into anything internet ever since the first BBS. I already pay a tax on the phone line that my DSL comes in on.

    Interesting to note, as John Lennon sang that song, how left leaning he was.

  3. The Libtard solution; RAISE TAXES…

    I wonder if making the USPS work more efficiently might help? I know, it’s a radical thought, but I’ll bet it’s one the Libtards don’t consider.. 😛
