Fletcher votes to tax the internet

April 10, 2019

Lizzie Fletcher and the socialist Democrats made clear their real motivation for their government-controlled internet bill today: new taxes!

Fletcher voted against a Republican-led effort to prohibit new internet taxes, turning her back on decades of bipartisan agreement that the internet should be untaxed.

NRCC Comment: “Lizzie Fletcher and the socialist Democrats have never met a tax hike they didn’t like. Fletcher’s vote to tax the internet sets a dangerous precedent that is sure to stifle innovation and increase costs for Texas families.” – NRCC Spokesman Bob Salera
