CELL PHONE TAX ILLEGAL

Oh this is just sooo American:
The IRS is illegally collecting taxes from cellphone users to the tune of $9 billion over of the last three years, Of that, New York City residents are owed $275 million, or about $50 per customer. Sen. Charles Schumer said.
The federal government started collecting taxes on long-distance calls way back in 1898 to help pay for the Spanish American War.
But several courts have recently ruled that the tax - which is 3 percent of the total bill - does not apply to cellphones, since they are usually billed by the minute, not the distance.
"The courts have now made it crystal clear that this tax is illegal, and yet the IRS continues to put it on everybody's cellphone bill," Schumer said
Earlier this month, a third federal appeals court in Washington, D.C., declared the tax "null and void."

"They're violating the law," he said. "The IRS asks all of us not to violate the law. Well, now we're asking them the same."

OK, all together now lets sing "God bless A -merica's, dou - ble stan - dard...........
