More government B.S. They work this by raising a little here and a little there. No one increase is all that much, but add them all together and it takes a big chunk out of people's income. Then they take the revenue and use it to shift other tax revenues to other things. That's how the whole lottery/education thing works. The money from the lottery goes to education, but the tax money that used to go there, goes somewhere else. Litttle to no net increase

If they had any guts, there would be one tax used to fund the entire government. No nickel an diming with gasoline, alcohol, phone service, etc. Have the guts to make the people actually have to write their check to the government and see how that works instead of hiding them in ...

I live in San Francisco - so I also pay a "City Utilities Tax" on top of other taxes, fees and surcharges - this is equal to about $4-6 PER MONTH PER LINE. I have 3 wireless lines it applies to, and one home line it applies to. So imagine paying $20-$24 per month extra to fund utilities in just one city. Sorry but I cant also pay a 17% tax in addition to fund other peoples children in school. Why not just charge parents an administration cost for going to school? $50 per year, divided up between 10 months they go to school for $5 per month. If they cant afford that, then I suggest home schooling.

New Yorkers and Florida pay about 50% when you count sales and income taxes.
Im sure most socialists who run the government think that isnt enough.

If you have a pre-pay account and pay online and not through cards, you don't have to pay any additional taxes or fees.
So a $50 a month prepay, can truly be $50 a month.

Nope. I prepay with Verizon. It is cheaper than the month to month plan. I still get charged those lame taxes on top of it...

Historically, no tax increase is ever enough, because whenever government revenue goes up by $1, there is a $1.20 increase in spending, which means that whenever government revenue increases, government debt increases at a faster rate.

17.2 percent increase is a heck of a lot more than $2 per year in taxes! Heck, since my bill is over $150 a month, I'm sure 17.2 percent of that will be a heck of a lot more than $2 a year, and more than $2 a month even. Not sure how they are calculating this.
