By "somebody else"? Who the h*ll do you think pays the taxes? I pay my fair share. I'm not asking my neighbor to pay my taxes. Hence, I'm paying for my fair share of the do not call list.

By "somebody else" I mean me. Some people pay taxes, some don't, but everyone could use this service, whether they do or not. But even if you pay taxes, you don't pay mine, and you don't pay the share of my taxes that pay for the service only you actually use, if you use it. I have to pay for a service I do not use, for you convencience. If only those who actually used the service had to pay for it, that would be fine. In the mean time, anyone who uses that service is essentially stealing from everyone who pays taxes and doesn't use the service. This doesn't matter to most people for whom the word morality only means whatever they can get away with.

My neighbor's tax dollars contribute to someone tossing trespassers off our property, too. But most of us agree it's a good use of the tax money. Same with phones: a no call list is telling telemarketing creeps to stay off my phone--do not trespass.
