question 12

True/False

The town of Tributon decides that it needs to increase revenues, so it passes a tax on all media. The money generated by the tax will be used for special downtown beautification efforts. The Tributon newspaper tries to argue that a tax applied to them would be a First Amendment violation. If the tax hike is challenged, according to precedent a U.S. court would find the tax constitutionally permissible because media must pay taxes, just like any other business.
