Breathe a sigh of relief. The House today passed a bill banning state taxes on internet access until before 2014. Since the Senate has already approved the measure, it goes to Bush for his signature.

Taxing consumers to access the internet is a horrible idea. And it wasn't just the tax:

Under the “streamlined” plan, a “national collection center” would be established and would monitor and store your personal information and Internet shopping habits.
