Obamanation, who never saw a tax or fee he din't like, has decided apparently, to by-pass Congress yet again and go straight to the FCC to impose yet another fee on your cellphones. He claims that the fee will connect schools across the nation to high speed Internet.. and who can argue with helpin' the little children?
The fee would 'Sunset' in three years -- Yeah right, and if you believe that....
As I recall, a temporary tax was put on telephones to help pay for the Spanish-American war back in 1898. It was finally abolished (after decades of complaint) by the Congress on 1 August 2006!! One hundred and eight years later.....
OK, you say, Obamanation is only suggesting a $5 per year tax per phone... who could complain? Folks, those fee taxes amount to $6 BILLION new tax dollars. You think they are ever gonna give that up... Look at your current cell phone bill -- there are already 10 different and separate city, state, and federal fees and charges -- PLUS sales taxes!!
A final thought to ponder..... where is it written in the Constitution of the United States that it is the Federal Gob'mint job to tax the citizens to provide Internet service to local schools. I reckon that's part of the job of states, local gob'mints and school districts.... isn't it? And at a hell of a lot less cost!!!
Be advised that 2/3rds of the current FCC board were appointed by Dimmorats! Do you reckon they'll argue with the ONE?
Your congressman or congressette is back in the District for town meetings.... next time there is lull in the shouting about Obamacare.... why not ask why they let the POTUS act like a monarch instead of POTUS?
You might also ask if all them thousands of folks that got the free 'obama-phones' on your tax dollars -- are going to be paying this new fee outta their welfare checks or if we are going to have to pay that for them too!!
