I personally don’t own a cell phone, Lessthan, yet I still feel your pain. $15 does sound high. The way you had phrased your poll question I was force to vote “YES”, though. The government has the right to get some taxes. I would possible support lowering the taxes on cell phones if I studied the numbers first. The problem is the government will simply squeeze the money from elsewhere. I would agree that nickel and dimming has got to stop. Taxes should be given to the government like someone would take off a Band-Aid, quickly and all at once.
