To my fellow contributors"
What part of "The recording industry wants to impose a fee – a performance tax – on local radio stations." don't you understand?
This is not some liberal "tax and spend" thing! It's put forth by a bunch of greedy people who want more money for nothing.

It's NOT sponsored by the government, it's being pushed by the RIAA!

STOP TAXING US TO DEATH!!!!!!
Wasn"t our country founded on NO TAXATION without representation.
WE Need our radio for so very many reasons. ITs the best way for new artists to get their start.I NEED my RADIO.

I think the government is in so much debt that they are going to try to tax everything.Oh I forgot they do! This is just a way for the richer to get rich and we need to say no and take a stand. Im sick of paying taxes on everything like come on. I love the radio and I am not going to be happy if my favorite stations go out of business because of greed! Please Stop Radio Tax!

i feel that if out government is going over board with trying to put performance tax on radio stations in the usa i feel that our government need to go after people that record the music of the artis and sell it to make money and the music artis make no money if you pass that and make it law it will bring down all the us radio stations here in the usa im a big music fan and i believ if you put this tax out there a lot of radio stations will co off the air for ever and music artis will not get there music heard it will also hurt the music conmanys and there might not be eny more music being made or heard its a shame the the government just cant stay out of things our government needs to do some thing the jobless rate the people looseing there homes and the economy but our government is cant keep there nose out of things our government already has hurt people with satellite tv with the home satellite home vewiers act were you cant watcch out of market tv channles if you can recive you local net works if the government do this to raido stations will be the thing of the past

What else are the Washington politicians going to want to tax? They have no sense of decency or respect. It's thanks to talk radio that the public stays informed of shanannigans like this. What happened to freedom of speach? Are they going to tax that next? Let's unite and revamp the Washington crowd. Enough is enought. The sleeping giant needs to wake up and take matters seriously. We are the government, not the Big Shots, who don't identify with the us, the regular folks. Have you ever imagined a Senator counting his change in order to make his mortgage payment? Nah. Let's elect a few of "us" in order to clean house down in Washington.

Radio taxing is BULL and should have never been cone up with!
