1 edit | There is a precedent for this crap.
When the weaselly government parasites broke up the Bell System/AT&T the parasites required each customer subscribing to telephone service to pay the local telephone companies a flat rate fee to make up for the revenue lost through deregulation of Long Distance Service. Customers that never made a long distance call suddenly were paying a fee and taxes on that fee. Unfortunately that precedent started the many industries on the un fee band wagon because government officials did not set a date for the fee to expire. The telephone companies wound up getting a windfall profit. Regulators gave the finger to the people that placed them in office. It is time to send letters to your congressmen an senators telling them this crap should be stopped or not allowed to start. |
