 BrianDamageWe Are The Hounds From HellPremium join:2001-08-14 Rowlett, TX | This is not "new " news at all The Bells and other LECs have been collected that tax since that war. This was just one of many sticking points in a long-winded argument taken up against many Bell shills over the years, like Boogie74 (if he's still around, but I bet he is). It just proves the "government subsidy" argument that has been pointed out for years...even though those same shills would try to argue that Ma Bell NEVER received subsidies from the government, when in fact, it was government subsidy that made the implementation of the National Telephonic Infrastructure possible. Oh, and by the way, A. Graham Bell didn't invent the first telephone (OH MY GOD, did he just say that??!!) It just so happened that his made it to a patent first. The rest is history.
