And Al Gore’s “let’s wire all classrooms for the internet” (now completely useless— everything is fully wireless and easily accessed without a Federal tax)=== is STILL on all phone bills... including cell phones!
A giant slush fund, no longer in service of old technology. Now let’s try to remove THAT! Good luck.
BTW— there is still red dye required for Al Gore’s diesel fuel tax.... from long ago! apalling.
Yep, all the Algor taxes are still with us. I didn’t get a second phone line because I refused to pay that tax at the time. It was only on additional lines at the time, that is, when people were adding 2nd lines for acoustic modems.
I think the diesel-dye was for tax-exempt non-road ag machinery. More than a handful of RV owners, as an example, have been caught “cheating” on highway fuel taxes
