Florida to Tax HOME Networks
Florida state officials are considering taxing home networks that have more than one computer, under a modified 1985 state law that was intended to tax the few businesses that used internal communication networks instead of the local telephone company.
Officials from Florida's Department of Revenue held a meeting on Tuesday to see whether the law would apply to wired households, and exactly who would be taxed. About 200 people attended, including community and business representatives.

This is a bad,
bad, bad, BAD idea. I can see this one making its way around the Governor's Association to Ohio's own RINO, Bob "Tax" Taft, who has not met a tax he didn't like near as I can tell. Usually a tax is levied because some sort of "service" is provided. No service is provided by the government in home networking. This is nothing more than a money grab. Jeb Bush should squash this as soon as humanly possible.
