The telephone tax funding the Spanish American War was ended n 2006.

I guess I didn't realize it because I had my land line disconnected back in 2004 or so. I did it because I needed a cell phone for work, and the only phone calls I received were from telemarketers. Oh, that and the fact that roughly 1/3 of the bill was made up of taxes and fees.
