Just reading the junk in my cell phone bill.

Tax on Talk!
The Spanish-American War ended 107 years ago - so why are you still paying a 3% monthly excise tax to help fund it!?
In 1898, President McKinley imposed the Federal Excise Tax law, or "Tax on Talk." It was supposed to be a TEMPORARY "luxury tax" on the very wealthy - who were the only ones that had phones at the time.
But a grassroots move is underway to wipe out this unfair and outrageous tax!
There are bills in Congress to repeal this outdated and unfair tax - and we need your help!!

I checked the site and it has how much each state pays.
I just thought I would share.
