HERE COMES THE DIGITAL TAX

Our friends at the MacIver Institute give a heads up on the latest new tax headed your way.

Although it is imposed by less than half the states, as of tomorrow, Wisconsin will apply its sales and use taxes to sales of digital goods.
 
Your government's most recent gift to you: the iPod Tax. Or should we call it the Kindle Tax?  Better to call it what it really is: "Wisconsin's We Found Yet Another Way to Take More of What You Have During the Worst Economy in Decades Because We Didn't Want to Cut Spending-Tax"

    You would think the state would at least kiss us before they f*ck us!

    ANOTHER tax passed by the Democrats and Doyle. How many people will be saying, "When did they pass this?" How many people will be caught totally by surprise? If you have been thinking of downloading anything recently and putting it off, do it TODAY so the state doesn't get more of your money tomorrow!

    I think a Star Trek quote could best describe the Wisconsin economy under Doyle: "It's(almost) Dead Jim!"
