too much stupidYou know if you tax people TOO much people will find a way to go around it, in turn the state loses more money then it was worth.
States already piss enough money away in stupid programs. I have a better idea quit the wasteful throwing away part. hell they tell us not to piss money down the tubes look at them. | |

Re: whysaid by mrkevin:why do these people keep getting re-elected? they certainly don't represent the people. VOTE THESE PEOPLE OUT OF OFFICE! Sometimes I wonder if we've reached the tipping point where the majority of voters either pays no taxes or is on some kind of government assistance. If that's the case... then sadly these politicians do in fact "represent the people." | |

Remember only Fundies (who get told to go and vote or burn in hell forever for not doing "God's work", usually for a particular candidate by their clergy) and senior citizens vote (gotta have that medicare and SS). | |

Patcat, are you suggesting that these two groups should be denied the vote? How interesting! And did you know that the senior citizens have been paying into medicare and SS, with few exceptions, since they started working. You might want to direct your invective toward the Congress of the United States for their mishandling of the SS funds, rather than b*tch about senior citizens voting. | |

Mishandling the Schutzstaffel funds could get quite deadly. They were quite nasty by default. | |

It's annoyingWatch, one of these days they're going to try to tax us for breathing! WTF. | |

Re: It's annoyingPersonal property tax anyone? Income tax? Close enough to breathing.
I think even a homeless bum has to pay income tax on paper for the food he gets at a soup kitchen since its a gain. | |

it's a narrow holdingKeep in mind that the opinion is actually quite narrow, applying only to "nomadic" VoIP. The court declined to address "fixed VoIP" -- the type typically provided by cable et al. | |

Careful!The story summary is not exactly correct. The Nebraska decision pertains to a state USF, not the Federal 'Gore Tax' USF. | |

just get rid of the phone tax altogetherWhy don't they just get rid of the stupid phone line tax anyway. It was started during the 1890's to pay for the dumb Spanish American war, which was started by yellow journalism. Back then, telephones were considered a luxury. Today? Not so much. | |
