I am not sure if the question is whether it is a hoax or not, I think we all know by now that the US government isnt planning on doing this. The question is whether you guys think that it is morally or ethically correct. And please no speaches about it being illegal, the legal system is just an extension of our moral system, one will follow the other.
I personally dont see a problem with a government charging for the use of email, or for that matter, an ISP charging for the use of email. Think of it as a bandwidth charge, someone that sends 2k email a day versus someone that sends 3 emails a day. In the eyes of the ISP, they are both currently being charged the same amount, but are using up drastically different amounts of their resources.
So maybe it wont be the government charging for the use of emails, but ISPs could be the one who start charging users who send a large amount of emails.
Just my 2 cents
