Only Congress can make an internet hoax a reality

Ugh.

The era of tax-free e-mail, Internet shopping and broadband connections could end this fall, if recent proposals in the U.S. Congress prove successful.

State and local governments resumed a push to lobby Congress for far-reaching changes on two different fronts: gaining the ability to impose sales taxes on Net shopping, and being able to levy new monthly taxes on DSL and other connections. One senator is even predicting taxes on e-mail. (ital mine)

Next up will be emails from Nancy Pelosi asking for your bank account information so she can get $42 million out of William Jefferson's freezer.
