Philadelphia bloggers must pay city $300 license fee if any profit is made

At this point, if you live Philadelphia and I am not quite sure if it
is all of New Jersey, then if you run a blog, you run ads, and you
even make as much as a penny, then expect a lic fee bill in the mail.
This fee is $50/yr or lifetime fee of $300 - so if you earned a penny
from your blog, and you reported it via income taxes, or you received
a 1099 income tax form, then they got you!

This just tells you how low our government is, because if the gov't finds
a small pot, and they think there is money in it, then they will grab it.

It is not enough that the gov't receives trillions of revenue in other
taxes, then they mishandle and mis-spend our tax dollars, now
they want to go after bloggers with a huge lic fee, and even
if a blogger made a penny...that is so dirty...

What is worse is that our govt knows this is a really bad economy, so they
run out and just create some BS income stream for the state, what is
more worse, when this gets bigger, they hire more employees, then you
can expect even higher lic fees. Our govt knows the people are hurting, but
yet they are going to go out and help themselves. I am really surprised they
did not say they are going after every little website that makes a penny, oh
wait, this is just a test run, give it time, I can assure you if they start
seeing money on this blog income venture, they will next go after websites.

So not only where you honest in reporting your income and paying taxes on
that, now you will be forced to buy a business lic to operate online, how lame!
