(FMQB) Lawmakers in New Jersey and Wisconsin are considering taxing online music downloads with a state tax. Nicknamed the "iPod tax," it would be collected on purchases of any digital content. Wisconsin Gov. Jim Doyle has already proposed the tax in his state, though some members of the legislature are already saying they will block the proposal. "It's an issue of tax equity," said Jessica Iverson, a spokeswoman for the Wisconsin Department of Revenue, told CNet.com. "If you go into a Main Street business and purchase a CD, you are paying tax."

I wish they would tax your turds. It would rule, you could bring the politicians a big bag of all your turds and they could figure out how much you owe for it. Then you pay them and then you smother the tools with the open bag. Seriously, I hate these things where people try to get other people riled up about taxes. there has to be taxes. the problem is - the tax goes to BS. Tax should go to getting clean water, garbage pickup, school, power and gas, and damn straight it should be like Canada or Sweden and you get health coverage. Nope, in Ameica you get to pay the tools in office mad salaries.
