"States bitter they can't tax to death, sue over 911"
So where does the above quote come into play?
I got an idea, instead of jumping to conclusions, how about we either put quotes relevent to the actual story in there, or leave personal political jabs out?

Yes, I see no evidence in any of the stories that the states are suing Vonage because they can't tax them. The headline of the story is misleading unless the author has info not privy to the press.

It was sarcasm, a joke, a ha-ha, a jab. |

Taxes, Well Yeah
Out of the various, tacked on fees, on my POTS line I was paying $.52 a month for 911 sevice. The total amount of these add ons was $10.73. I'm not sure how every state does this, but in most cases these monies go into the general fund and are then distributed out. This means that not all 911 monies get spent on 911 service etc. This could account for the poor 911 service experienced by many people. So, yes, as many people drop their POTS service, states and municipalities are going to fight to keep their cash cow. |
