cell phone bill taxes

[MURP]

my usual cell phone plan is like $44 a month.   Somehow it ends up being about $55 every month because of taxes and BS.  What the farg is with all the taxes on a cell phone bill?

Fed Universal SVC Charge
Regulatory Cost Recovery Fee.
State GR Surcharge
Federal Excise Tax
State sales tax
City Sales Tax
Standard 911 access

All that is something like $70 a year of extra taxes and crap.   figure the millions of people with cell phones and there is atleast a billion dollars a year of this shtein.   fargin taxes.

It's the same for every other product too. It's just not explicitly listed on every bill. Governments need their cut of protection money from every transaction in their jurisdiction, same as any other mob.

Yeah, and now West Virginia is gonna try and start taxing all online purchases?! 

Doesn't the damn government make enough money on taxes without finding new ways to come up with a tax to make our lives more difficult.

The entire purpose of the tax code is to come up with new ways of taking money without the rabble getting angry, or preferably even knowing about it.

In NJ they don't care any more..they just take you money and tell you to shut the frag up

That's the whole shtick with SunCom.  When they say $39, they mean $39 including all taxes.  I wish more cell companies would bill like that.  Too bad SunCom's service sucks donkey scrotes.

i love how people are looking for any way to save on the home phone by using these fly by night interent phones...but then willingly and happily spend $50-$60 on a cell phone.

[General_Failure]

Gotta spend that saved money somewhere ...
