Correct me if I ' m wrong here . But didn ' t the Supreme Court pass a ruling recently declaring the internet a utility ? If that ' s the case how can one justify taxing the content of an already taxed utility ? Not to mention I believe in some states , and I could be wrong here again , you do pay taxes on all online transactions . That would be like the water company saying We know you already pay tax you on the water that comes into your house . But now we also want you to pay tax on the water that you don ' t drink . It ' s one thing to pay taxes on your Internet service . It ' s another if your state or city requires you to pay taxes on your online transactions . But to force people to pay taxes bases on how much streaming they do on an already taxed and regulated service , it ' s not just wrong , in my opinion it ' s unconstitutional .
