An interesting addition to Tom’s point, I know a number of people who are independent contractors and thus have to pay their own taxes. In this situation, the IRS penalizes you for not making quarterly estimated payments, but there is no penalty to the IRS for holding excess taxes until four months after the end of the year.

More maddening than the idea of the USF is that there is no clear way for companies to pay it. Most companies overpay to avoid the conflict, but there is no clear definition for how much USF charge a VoIP company should pay. This is even more ironic considering the whole selling point of VoIP is accessibility to long distance and international calling at a lower rate than traditional services.

Amen brother!

We’ve become so accustomed to new taxes it seems people just don’t care any more. We fought a revolution over taxation yet today people just direct deposit their check and don’t see the Federal gov’t taking out 30-40%, states taking another 5-10% or so, etc.

I wish people could keep 100% of their (bi)weekly check and had to MAIL their taxes in. Maybe then they’d realize how much the government takes from them.
