WHLM EDITORIAL:
The government is pushing for more taxes, including a push to raise taxes on a brand new performance tax for each song you listen to on free local radio.
Here in Pennsylvania over one half of the House has signed on to co-sponsor H.R. 49 – opposing any performance tax. However, legislators who favor taxing us will continue to push House leadership to go forward with a vote in the full house.
What is even more amazing is that their bill will give the record companies (3 of the 4 are foreign owned) almost 50% of the new revenue – half WON’T go to the performers!
Here is the Pennsylvania board of reps wanting to tax your local stations:
Christopher Carney (D), Kathy Dahlkemper (D), Mike Doyle (D), Paul Kanjorski (D), Patrick Murphy (D), John Murtha (D), Joe Sestak (D), and Timothy Murphy (R).
There is only one Republican on the list. I think he is a Republican…I called his office and the person on the other end was “not permitted” to release the information. I had to speak to his press secretary, who said he is Republican. When I asked, “why so much red tape to get a simple answer?” she said, "have a nice day," and hung up! Timothy Murphy is in fact Republican, so you see they are not all tax and spend Democrats.
PAUL KANJORSKI OFFICE UPDATE: After six months of inquires, including a phone call from Representative David Millard, Kanjo’s people have finally run out of excuses. His press secretary would not come to the phone or return an email. After her last email that she apologized in and said, “I won’t forget you.”
Lee Iacocca, the former car guy, has a sound bite from his new book called Where Have All the Leaders Gone. He says, “THROW ALL THE BUMS OUT!"
