what? I have to pay....
tax? why do I have to pay tax for this or that etc..... I hear this every single day and now i'm just so use to it it goes out the other ear. I even printed out stuff that says, TAX IS CHARGED BY THE STATE, so stop asking me why there's tax.

I love the whole "I've never had to pay that much before." It's a prepaid payment. It stays the same every month. There is the price of the plan you're on and TAX. "Oh I never had to pay tax before.I just hand the people $57 exactlly every month and leave." Well then your phone wouldn't be on, because after tax, it's 60.42. 'I'm going somewhere else where they won't charge me tax!' Ok... I think there is a military base about a 2 hour drive from here. Try it out there... oh wait! We don't have a store there... have a nice trip. 😡

Tax is a funny thing, though. Take sales tax for example. Sales tax is paid by the retailer not the customer, but the retailers have added it onto the purchase price, so that they don't have to pay it, and the customer pays it. The same thing with all the taxes that show up on our bills, everything from electric, gas, water, land line phones and cell phones, those taxes are assesed to the providers, but they don't want to pay them so they pass them on to the customer and then throw their hands up in the air and claim there's nothing they can do about the taxes. Not that we as agents/reps can do anything about the taxes, just that the companies that the taxes have been assesed to have passed the burden of taxes onto the consumer, rather t...
