Tax on e-mail? Long-running hoax endures |
|
Years after an alarming e-mail began circulating on the Internet urging readers to rise up against Bill 602P, there are still people concerned that they may be charged for online chatting. The e-mail warns people that House Bill 602P will levy a five-cent surcharge on every e-mail sent. The e-mail goes on to say that the bill is sponsored by Congressman Tony Schnell, and the funds would go to the U.S. Post office, which of course has nothing to do with delivering e-mail. ... »
