BOHICA: The Government Eyes MMORPGs as New Source of Taxes

Here's the word. Get ready for taxes, the ultimate virus, to attack stuff like Second Life.

Wonderful.

I would feel much better about this if the government actually knew what the hell it was doing with the money it already collects instead of trying to find more.

And for those of you who think this is reasonable, then you're obviously not being taxed enough. Feel free to donate the amount that will make you feel better about yourselves. I'm sure a call to any government agency, local or federal, will get you all the info you need about how to make a donation that will soothe your aching conscience.

Just leave the rest of us the fuck out of it.

P.S. Although this commenter on Digg where I found the article, may actually have the right of it.

Widge in his natural habitat

This is me.

No, really.

I am a writer, poet, spoken word performer, actor, singer, improviser, content creation and idea machine, freelance iconoclast, and the internet's janitor that dispenses pop culture wisdom to the protagonist of your choice. I have seen too many movies, read too many comic books, and when the zombies finally come, I'm the one you want to call. I sure as hell won't answer the phone, but it's the thought that counts. I advise people on the net, websites and technology, because I know these things instead of having a life or sleeping.

If you like something I've done, donate to the Widge Wants to Kill His Day Job Fund. Or if you'd like to hire me for a job, my rates are terribly reasonable. We thank you.
