Re: Property tax clarification Actually, we do pay tax on every single fiber we pay to put in the ground or on a pole, every year. It seems pretty counter-productive to me, and not a great incentive to spend the money needed to bring fiber to more people. Because taxes vary so much from place to place we recently had to add property taxes as a separate item on our bill -- our first and only "below the line" item on our bill.
Taxes are a hidden drain on the economy that saps its productive juices. Tax policy is used as a tool for politicians to reward their cronies and give advantages to some companies (e.g. Solyndra, G.E., and AT&T) over others. |

| Instead of taxing corporations, the govt. ought to tax us directly. Either way, we're going to pay. Charging Verizon a property tax on poles will be reflected by a rate increase.
The bottom line is that those in govt. want more money, and are constantly dreaming up ways to fool all of us into paying more. A tax on a corporation is a tax on all of us. |

Exactly. The whole tax structure is set up to fool as many people as possible, so that they don't realize the extent that the government is dominating the economy thru taxes that are often hidden from the citizens.
