Weblog:   Citrix claims total tax exemption under First Amendment
Subject:   Citrix

It is my understanding, based on local knowledge, that the Citrix suit will stand, as ordinary citizens, as intervenors in a class action, understand that the lions share of the claim is not income taxes--it is the state sales taxes on software, newspapers, magazines,and access to weblogs, which includes your foolish article, that they will pursue (it was their money, anyway). The reasons for the anti-sales tax issue is that (1)none of the above qualifies as tangible personal property (it is intangible property under Florida Law) and (2)the first amendment is not invoked here to protect the company, but to protect the taxpayers from whom the corporation, as agent for the state, collects the sales tax money, which is an abridgment of their freedom of speech.


If you read history books about your country, or the case law on this issue, it would become readily apparent to you that the citizens have a great case. Not everyone can afford the exorbitant taxes on DSL services and the computers we get to read your articles on. Constitutional liberties have been abridged, here. And, while Mr. Bush, is pledging 300 billion in tax cuts--why doesn't he just already give back the money the federal and state governments unconstitutionally have taken from the people. That's what he should do if he "just wants to give the people their money back", as he repeatedly stated during his election campaign


Kudos to Mr. Libow, I hope he goes through with this and wins. It benefits all of us, including you!!

    I agree, Kudos to Mr. Libow, if he can shrink my phone bill or cable bill by getting rid of the taxes (which I didn't pay when I had rabbit ear antennas) on cable and satellite.

    And as far as books, don't we pay enough tax to send our kids to school, and then charge them tax on their learning materials--this is wrong!!
