Re: . said by MrSpock29:When the country was founded, the Fed. gov't was supposed to provide basic fundamental services, like delivering the mail, national defense, and the Treasury, to name a few. Maybe there are just too many gov't services that require funding. Before the 16th amendment, there were no Fed. taxes. When they were implemented, it was 1% for all. This is a state tax...

I know, but I took the comment I was responding too as a generalization, and not really just about this tax. In fact, I took both comments that way. But I think there is a point made there in either instance. |

The point is that our Founding Fathers limited the extent to which the federal government could tax, so as to leave the rest of context for the states. |

No, it appears it's a bunch of cities levying taxes.
Isn't this type of payment usually part of a franchise agreement in order to use the ROW on those poles?
Sounds like cities getting greedy to me. |
