“The Pasadena city council has been taking heat for weeks, after announcing a 9.4 percent tax on streaming video.  They’re calling it a utility, so it can be taxed like water and electricity. It happened when Pasadena voters modernized a law in 2008 to tax cell phones like landlines, never anticipating it could be applied to video streaming. Forty California cities now have similar laws. Chicago is currently being sued for charging a 9 percent tax on video streaming. And Pennsylvania’s charging a 6 percent sales tax on everything, from apps to downloads, to help close a $1.3 billion budget gap.”
