Gephardt has also called for a ban on Internet-access taxes and a rollback of a federal 3% telecommunications charge that plagues most phone bills.

A political war is brewing between Democrats and
Republicans over who loves the New Economy
more. And one of the biggest battlefields is likely
to be who hates net taxes the most. Current law
already bans any new Internet taxes before
October, 2001, but Y2K is an election year and
Republicans are preparing a proposal to extend
the moratorium an extra five years. That would
trump the three-year extension already called for
by Richard Gephardt, the head Democrat in the
House of Representatives.
