Isn't it a kicker. Men shed their blood to make us free from taxation without representation. Now, not only do we have city taxes, state taxes,
federal taxes, sales taxes, gas taxes, SSI tax, and all the others they are honest enough to call taxes, we have hundreds of dollars a month in fees. User
fees, 911 fees, access fees, distribution fees, line fees, and don't forget charges, sur-charges, fuel charges, and the cost of living charges. Oh, and
the way the bills are calculated, sales tax is calculated after all the fees and charges are added up.
The worst part. The part that drives my ranting and raving like a lunatic, is how much we are paying for the Representation!!! We paid less when there
weren't representatives to pay for.

Alan,
It is too sad to talk about, but the one that really bothered me was paying a 15% srucharge tax to rent a car at the Phoenix Airport. That tax is to pay for the new stadium, something I will never use and for sure had no representation about. I refuse to fly into Phoenix and rent a car. Paying that tax once was enough.
Fred
