After President Bush endorsed the idea of universal internet access, the Senate banned access tax on the internet until November 1, 2007. I believe this piece of legislation is paramount for two reasons. First, the Senate accepted the bill 93-3. This is notable because lately the government has been hammered for partisan politics. While I agree the government has illustrated extreme partisanism as of late, this is a great step in a more united government- working for the common good. Secondly, I feel this is a great step to help ensure all man have access to digitial technology. Internet service is the highway to information, and information is the road to education and success. I applaud the Senate for their agreement to eliminate tax, allowing for easier internet access to all. Does the government really need to swindle more tax money out of us anyway?
