I find it hard to believe any senators "want" to get rid of a tax. They'd still be taxing us on the Pelopponesian War if they could

Remember the Maine (When you pay your phone bill)

[E. Pluribus Unum]

This comes up every session, and instead of repealing it they add another tax to your telephone bill, only they forbid the phone company from itemizing it on your bill.

We need to trash the "Gore Tax" too.

I'm not holding my breath waiting for Congress to nix the income tax and the IRS.

Remember MAINE .... as an example of what happens to an economy beset by crippling taxes and regulations.

I pay more in taxes and fees on my home phone bill than I do for the actual service. This seems to come up every session - I'll be shocked if it passes.

The Spanish/American War was a quagmire. When will bush apologize?

[Max Flatow]

Have you (everyone) ever looked closely at your telephone bill? There are so many taxes that have nothing to do with telephone srvice, it has become a de facto place to raise taxes without a refenderum or vote. My local municipality taxes my cell phone! What does the town I live in have to do with taxing my cell phone? Nothing. But taxing a telephone bill has become too easy for them to do, and with practically no one complaining about it, they get away with it.

Is the beeswax subsidy still in effect? How about the helium subsidy? Let's get rid of those while we are at it.

[Redleg Duke]

They aren't taxing us for the Pelopponesian War? That is a shock!

Re: "Spanish-American War Tax"

One would think we would have that one paid for by now. ;-}

You had to mention the only thing they're not taxing us for,

[America's Resolve]

Who was it that said that a Federal tax is the nearest thing to immortality that any of us would ever see?

I think that 1898 qualifies!
