Trick Or Treat
This post is currently tax free.
However the federal law that prevents the taxation of internet access is set to expire on October 31. Congressional Democrats have already blocked efforts to enact a permanent ban on internet taxation so it looks like we may have to settle for another temporary ban.
The real trick is the phony opposition of Democrats to a "permanent" ban. Everyone knows that such a ban would only be permanent until the government decides it doesn't want it to be permanent any more. They just pass another law and like magic the "permanent" ban goes away.
The problem is that repealing a ban would require an affirmative action on the part of congress. They would have to go on record as voting for a new tax and they don't want to have to do that.
