Mises Institute summer fellow Daniel McCathy on the proposed spam tax.
“Christopher Caldwell doesn’t like spam. That’s ok – who does? Caldwell, however, thinks that the solution to unsolicited commercial email is to have ‘lawmakers’ – the federal government – do something about it. There’s a problem here, but what’s worse is that Caldwell gives the impression that his real objective here isn’t to eliminate nuisance email, it’s to set a precedent for taxing the internet.”
