AN EMAIL TAX?

BERKELEY CA. COUNCILMAN GORDON WOZNIAK HAS PROPOSED A TAX ON EMAIL TO PROVIDE REVENUE FOR THE POSTAL SERVICE. IN ITS LATEST BUDGET YEAR, THE POST OFFICE MORE THAN 15 MILLION DOLLARS.  MR. WOZNIAK SUGGESTED A  BIT TAX OF PERHAPS ONE CENT PER GIGABIT.  THIX WOULD HELP OFFSET SOME OF THE REVENUE LOST TO EMAIL BY THE POST OFFICE AND OTHER GOVERNMENT AGENCIES.  AT THE PRESENT TIME, THANKS TO A BILL SIGNED BY PRESIDENT CLINTON, TAX ON EMAIL IS ILLEGAL.

SO FAR THERE IS NO EXTIMATE HOW IT WOULD AFFECT THE INDIVIDUAL USER OF THE INTERNET.  WOW! ANOTHER BILL!!
