Thank your congressman for saving you $4.32 annually.
This is far too generous. I think the savings realized by americans from this act should be taxed at the maximum rate, after all, we can't be left to spend such a large amount of the government's money on our own.

I am proud of the legislation I have co-sponsored and voted for to help families keep more of the money they earn.
Yeah, Casa de Xena will save about 12 bucks a year.
Whoop-de-friggin'-do.

Hey, if you don't want those 12 bucks, send 'em my way. Make the check payable Charles Albert Stanley Henderson. I prefer to go by my initials: C. A. S. H. Alternatively, you could buy a box or two of pistol ammunition. That way, you could pay a special excise tax with your excise tax savings. The irony should appeal to you.

I, for one, am glad to see that antiquity finally DIE. It's a little thing, but it's one less tax on our phone bills.
Next thing that should go: The Universal Service Fee!

If we do away with the IRS, then it will be fair warning to the others. Actually, Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms should be the name of a convenience store, not a government bureau.

Rep. Mike Turner, R-Centerville [who sponsored the tax repeal bill] represents Ohios Third Congressional District. I have a new person in Congress to like.

Does anyone know if the "alternative fuel tax" is still being collected? I think it is, and it was passed during the energy crisis in the early 1970's. The taxes were to be used to produce alternative sources of fuel by the gov't. Has anyone purchased any of this gov't fuel? Or is this just another black hole used by the gov't to suck money out of our pockets?

While it is not going to be a huge savings at least it is one less tax, only about 45,358 to go.

No. I heard it was repealed. This is what I found courtesy of Google.
