Internet politics?

[kyonides]

There's something else that bothered me for a while, to see or to hear that some politicians in countries like Panama really believed that they should tax the internet... Really? Man, that sounds not just ridiculous but arrogant, like a way to cut the access to the internet to the poorest as if they actually needed to be less computer literate as they already are. The thing is that while countries like Mexico stopped discussing projects like these one, Panama approved it and Costa Rica is still considering as a viable option to collect more taxes. Come on! Don't the internet service providers make tax payments already? Why would they need to approve another baseless, needless, non-sensical tax to be unfairly imposed to its citizens?
