I think they charge $15.00 Wink

If this tax passes, just Message people. Or am I missing something?

I can just see a Dad when he gets his monthly phone bill for the whole family which happens to include 3 teenage daughters.

His tax could run into the thousands per month!!

Can you say revolt?

This is why Europeans use WhatsApp for texting. And now that's getting dicey because of the new GDPR law. Don't think it won't happen here. CA has their own version of GDPR coming soon too.

DAMN! Who does this for $10? That’s cheaper than drinks and an appetizer.

If they were $10, I'd never get anything done.

No, the market would react and a non-text, nontaxable medium would take over within a short time.

Technically an Apple blue "text" isn't even a text message as it's not SMS and goes over the data network, not cellular network. Would that be taxed too?

"Nontaxable"?

Not anything too extreme or that hard to track. (hahaha)

Back in the 80s/90s, California tried to tax the satellites that were passing over the state or in orbit above it. They tried to use the rules that apply to trucks or train cars passing through.

When up and down the courts and finally was shut down.

Wonder if texting someone would give you nexus and now have to file taxes in CA????

The only reason God hasn't made this sorry of a state fall into the Pacific is because there are still good people left in there. But, my brothers, the time of harvest of the tares and the wheat is coming

What would the "poor" care? They still got their Obama phones and we are paying for those, as we always have and always will.

I'll start a business to text CA residents nonstop from out of state to give the government a tax bump.
