RantCrush Top 5: August 3, 2016

This week, Pennsylvania’s Netflix tax goes into effect! Mad? Don’t blame Netflix, blame the state’s governor Tom Wolf for passing the legislation extending existing 6 percent tax measures to digital downloads and subscriptions like Netflix and Hulu. Sources say that the revenue package is an attempt to fill a $1.3 billion hole in the state’s new $31.5 billion budget. As necessary as this move may be, people are vexed and confused!

Pennsylvania, looking to fill a budget gap, has imposed, as of today, sales tax on Netflix & Hulu. They’re pushing it.

I don’t know about you but I’d like to keep my Netflix tax free.
