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." -- Blagojevich / Madoff 2012! | |

| 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. | |

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. | |

@comcast.net | it's a narrow holding Keep 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. | |

| just get rid of the phone tax altogether Why 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. | |

Yeah, there are many "telephone" taxes passed years ago that are now diverted and will never be repealed. Well, fortunately didn't pass this time....I'm sure they'll keep trying.
