Oh,wait..its FAIR to tax phone companies, but WRONG to tax virtual phone companies.
I get it.
But you see, the reason those taxes are on phone service is because the phone service providers never really objected--after all, you had to buy from them, right?
Other industry-specific federal taxes either are directly related (gas tax builds roads) or on "sin" industries (like liquor.) Ma Bell never really minded having her customers get hit, and now her offspring are reaping their justly deserved reward of a tax inequity. TFB!
