"The moratorium has expired, and it's time for the Senate to act," said Armey. "The Senate should immediately take up and pass the two-year extension passed by the House."
The Internet Tax moratorium, a ban on multiple and discriminatory Internet taxes and access charges, expired on October 21, 2001. The House has already passed H.R. 1552, a bill to extend the moratorium for two years.
"I strongly support a permanent ban on discriminatory Internet taxes," said Armey. "But the House bill already marks a significant compromise. We will not consider anything less than the clean, two-year extension we passed."
"If the Senate continues to refuse to take up and pass the House bill as-is, the conclusion is obvious," said Armey. "The Senate wants to tax the Internet."
