Everyone used to rent phones from Ma Bell. It wasn’t the company that screwed us so much as it was that darn tax imposed on phone communications to pay off WW1 or whatever excuse it was the government used to justify it.

It was the Spanish/American War we were paying/taxed on until the mid 80s.

Spanish American War. Tax not lifted until Bush 2. I mean it was like a buck and a quarter, but yeah.
