President Bush is expected to sign a bill that would extend the moratorium on Internet taxes until 2014, and The Club For Growth no doubt thinks that's a good idea on the off chance that former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee becomes president.
Huckabee currently ranks low among the Republican presidential candidates but has been gaining ground in some polls and has been the subject of favorable media coverage lately. Today, Club For Growth President Pat Toomey, a former House Republican from Pennsylvania, issued a "memo to the media" designed to remind people of Huckabee's record, and Internet taxes is one item in the memo.
This is the last item on the list, but it's there nonetheless: "Internet Taxes, 2004: Huckabee opposed a congressional moratorium on state taxation of Internet access (Bond Buyer, 02/24/04)."
