Get your Phone Excise Tax Refund!

edited January 2007 in Everything Else

Legislation in the House — supported by 98 co-sponsors — aimed at repealing the tax, which was imposed in 1898 to help pay for the Spanish-American War. The war was over in six months, but the tax stayed.

It's now time to file for the refund!

People complain about the cost of American wars but... This one ended over 100 years ago and we are still paying for it!

  • Ha! Whenever libertarianism comes up, that tax always seems to come up right along with it. I guess hopefully I won't be able to use that as evidence anymore in the near future. ^_~
