Voip Comparison
Why does the government insist on taxing VOIP phones?
Everytime it is brought up, they mention unfairness to traditional phone companies that have to pay the Line tax. The thing that is never mentioned: VOIP users ALREADY pay for this tax on the internet service! If you tax the VOIP aspect, you are taxing the user TWICE for the same thing! Why is the argument more v. less taxes and not the simple unfairness of this double taxation?

- just coz of the fixed line operators will face trouble in panetrating the international phone call market, it cost them more for fixing fixed lines than the VOIP calls. Thus they invest more and gain little which would lead them to close their bizz and stay at home..
- Double taxation is nothing new and occurs frequently. It happens with dividends, sales taxes, rooms and meals taxes, federal telecommunications surcharges, electricity taxes, airwave use taxes, tackle-box taxes, . . .Think about it; what human activity, other than breathing, is not taxed. Nothing comes to mind . . . welcome to the end of big government as we know it. Now we're getting hypermegagovernment. The budget's pushing $2.8 trillion per year and climbing rapidly. With that you can expect an endless array of taxes to be passed into perpetuity,
