Internet Access Is Finally Permanently Tax Free in the U.S.
If we want our countries to have the same tax revenue, then every time we reduce the tax on something we also need to rise the tax on something else. So the taxes you will save will be paid by someone (most likely yourself) somewhere else.<p>So making something tax free&#x2F;reduce taxes is more like a subsidy. By reducing taxes on basic amenities like food you&#x27;re subsidizing the poor, as more of their money will be spent on basic things. When reducing taxes on something else, then you&#x27;re essentially subsidizing that thing. It makes sense to subsidize internet access if you want to temporarily give a boost in adoption. But if you make that tax free status perpetual then you&#x27;re saying that this is more important than everything else that doesn&#x27;t get the tax free status.
