Is it Fair to Put a Tax on Software?

http://twitter.com/ChrisPirillo - If you didn't already know, I currently live in Seattle. There's a bill that's currently in the Washington State Legislature that, if passed, will levy a tax on all software customizations done by businesses (at least, for now, those businesses residing in the state of Washington).

You may not think this impacts you directly, but if other states (or governments in other countries) see it as a viable option, they may consider doing the same thing where you live.

I spoke with Ken Myer, President and CEO of the WTIA, to find out more about this bill - and why it's probably not the smartest thing for small businesses here.

What are your thoughts?
