Where is the public outcry about the Tax on Talking?
A. There is indeed a public outcry about this regressive tax. Thousands of Americans have already written to their representatives in Congress, asking that the Tax on Talking be repealed. Phone companies hear complaints all the time form people trying to make heads-or-tails out of the taxes they pay on their phone bills, and who can blame them? It is “death by a million nicks.” A tax for universal service, another tax for public access, fees for 911 services, and the Tax on Talking – they all add up, adding an additional 20 to 30 percent on top of every monthly phone bill.
