Reply to comment by AcceptablePosition5 in New York lawmakers eye streaming tax, delivery fee by cddotdotslash

so how are neither of us putting in a good argument if you dont even know how that applies to streaming? mind you im not arguing anything, im asking what would justify that tax

My point was taxes on cars, like congestion charges, are not comparable in purpose to taxes on streaming, as far as I can surmise, unless there's a reason we should discourage streaming services.

In the former case, we want to discourage a behavior (diving in Manhattan). In the latter, it seems to be more about raising money
