Phone exise tax protest

[Dave Ridley]

Here is a way to protest your federal taxes without getting chased around by the IRS or, apparently, much of anyone.

3% of your phone bill goes to the feds.? So...Just deduct 3% from your phone bill and attach a letter to the phone company explaining you are doing so to protest (whatever it is the feds are doing that you don't like).

Details on this technique are at:

Try doing that to your cell phone provider...

Hello????????


I don't have a land line.   Why pay taxes on old technology that you don't even need?

I have no idea why anyone has a land line any more, unless they live way out in the country with no cell coverage.  I guess I must have one, because I have DSL, but besides the phone plugged in in the bedroom for 911 calls, I've never used the voice line!

May your chains rest lightly upon you

I had been thinking earlier today about tax protests and had a suggestion for you all? the free state group should get anyone who knows anything about taxes to help volunteer looking over people?s taxes to find every single little loophole there is.  From child exemption to barn exemptions? help teach everyone how to get the government to take less.

Cell phones outnumber landlines in Finland now.

I haven't had a landline in over 3 years.

There is none... he thinks we should start it up.

[Dave Ridley]

does the exise tax apply to cell phones?

[Kat Kanning]

Vonage does one on the voice over IP.

The Free State Project has no ability or interest in any activity, but we can help.
I can help you achieve whatever level of tax avoidance you are comfortable with.

I like the way you think Russell!

And if people don't like paying this tax .... then go for it.
