[governance] FW: TP: city government exercising policy on Google Applications / consumer rights / Consumer Protection Act / trial period

[Jean-Louis FULLSACK]

Well answered Parmnder ! 

Yet Milton only reflects the official discourse of the WSIS since its very beginning. And this is far more serious and dangerous. Will the WSIS Forum 2012 change its neoconservative tune ? Let's try for it to happen in being active and proposing "another way" during the coming preparative meetings. especially as far as developing countries policies are concerned. 
friendly regards

Local governments have a lot to do with local things. Or have you forgotten about things like roads, schools, crime and law enforcement, etc.?
 
I havent forgotten them, but maybe you have! All these things need taxes to be collected. And you seem to consider legitimate taxation as a parasitizing activity.....

Local govts that try to parasitize virtual businesses tend not to focus on what they need to be doing.

Good god, let’s hope not.

Do municipal statutes have jurisdiction over non-local global corporations with only a virtual presence/assets locally i.e. can a municipal tax apply to virtually supplied electronic apps for example?
