Isn’t it bull s**t that we have to pay “surcharges.” They’re getting to be ridiculous. These “surcharges” cost me $13 a month. My Verizon bill is almost $200 for two phone lines, 700 minutes, unlimited text, and 6 GB of data on one phone and unlimited on the other.<\/p>\n

But these “surcharges” go up every month it seems.<\/p>\n

\"When<\/a><\/p>\n

It states:<\/p>\n

Verizon Wireless Surcharges – Includes charges to recover or help defray costs of taxes and of governmental charges and fees imposed on us by the government. Other Charges and Credits – includes charges for products and services, and credits owing.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So it’s the governments fault? I see. The government charges too much in taxes so they need to pass that onto their consumer. Makes sense.<\/p>\n

But wait. It turns out they don’t pay taxes<\/a>! What the f**k? They actually make a s**t ton of profit and still pay no taxes<\/a>. They even get money back from the government!<\/p>\n

At least they create jobs right? Nope. Turns out, their tax breaks don’t even create jobs<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It’s such bull s**t. I think I’m going to start to complain. Why should I pay more to pad their bottom line even more than it is now when they pay nothing in taxes? I pay taxes! You pay taxes! Why should we pay more of “their taxes?”<\/p>\n

I’m fed up with this country sometimes. It’s bull s**t.<\/p>\n
