Comments on: FCC chief backs Net phone taxes

Chairman Kevin Martin says a top 2006 priority is expanding controversial tax so anyone with a phone number pays it.

How About a Spam Tax?

It would make more sense than a VOIP tax.

Yes...

but it will be the end user who ends up paying it.

Rather than increase taxes, dismantle the FCC

The FCC needs to be dismantled.

Here, it's all the blood I have left.

I'm not opposed to paying taxes, but this is getting ridiculas. I think what we really need to do is make our government give us a detailed report on how much money is collected, where it goes, and how much is returned.

I was just looking over my phone bill today and the taxes were around $30 or so dollars. I guess the great thing is it's our right to pay the government for protection of course if you don't they will break your legs. Oh, wait, I mean take everything you own.

Here's a thought. Polititians don't get paid, they get no tax breaks, they have to pay for everything themselves, and they can't accept any money, favors, or gifts from anybody. If they don't follow the rules they could face life in prison. Oh yeah, nobody would run for office. I don't think any of them would run if you took away their tax breaks and made them pay for everything and stop them from receiving gifts of any nature.

I think the bottom line is our entire government and legal system is completly out of wack. What's worse is if it's not the christain coallition standing on the soap box it's the atheist or some other group. I give America another 50 to 100 years before we have another civil war or it just imploads and becomes another russia.

As far as taxes go I don't know why we just don't hand over 66% of our paycheck to the feds and then just give the rest to our local state government. Would save a lot of time.
