 End the USF?!?

I do not enjoy paying taxes, and do not know anyone who dose. I feel that the usf is out of date and has never worked like the fund was set up to do. This was a fund that was set up to help bring the services of high tech industries to the rural communities that often fail to get the access to the services that large cities enjoy. I do support the ideal that all people should have the ability to access high tech systems, and that some of my tax dollars go to this effort. I don’t agree with the notion that the monies got to Telco. I believe that the Telco’s have a bad record of not providing the service that this money is meant for. I live in a suburban community that was a rural area. Much of the services here were started as a co-op, a group of locals who were just trying to make there life better by providing electric power, phone, water, ect. If my tax dollars were going to fund these org.'s I would be happy, but when I find that my taxes go to companies like Qwest, MCI (formally WorldCom), and even Enron, who then proceed to steel more money from the public, that I will not stand for. If I knew that all $3.63 in new taxes, that this proposed tax would cost me, went to putting in new and advanced telecom's I would pay it. Until it dose I will fight it till I turn blue!
