Greens want to tax internet usage...

Shocked to read this but seemingly Eamon Ryan wants to get rid of the TV Licence in favour of a data download tax...

I blogged about it here: Primary Position SEO Blog Ireland: The Green Party push their internet strategy into high gear...

I'd love to read the blog article but I'd have to pay the Greens 23 cents ...


Seriously though, that's moronic.

You think they will even get one seat in the election to get the chance to implement this crazy tax?

Well, no, but Fine Gael don't want to be outdone, are proposing something similary (today) according to this: Fine Gael propose "content tax" to replace tv license | Newswhip
