Re: I say
Not only that but as Californians pay $2.30-$2.60/gal during the summer for gasoline, how about a USF so we pay the same at the South East? How about a USF for electricity and water rates? No reason why one person should pay $40/mo and another pay $10 for monthly sewer rates. How about a USF that makes freight rates with UPS, Fedex and Airborne flat versus distance based...seeing as in telecom the actual cost of delivery is to be ignored and absorbed by everyone else. How about a USF that builds airports everywhere since everyone should be entitled to fair and just air fares.
Hell, let's just have a 100% tax and have daddy government hand out what we get like Smurfberries.
People who move into the middle of nowhere know what they're getting into. If you want or need certain services then you should think about that when you choose a place to reside.

You're only paying $2.60/gallon tops??? I have to travel between Monterey County and San Diego and I've seen 87 Octane jacked up to $2.99 down there starting Memorial Day thru Labor Day.

|  You should live where I live. Not to stray to far off topic but I have only paid $174 tops for gas. Also the USF is just another attempt at socialism, kind of like the new tax cuts. Why don't the poor get the advantage of the cuts you ask? Because you can't get a tax cut for a tax you didn't pay. |
