Why not just charge per? (Score 1)

Why doesn't the gov. just charge per 911 call? Whether that is the real reason for needing to tax VoIP, I don't know, but one thing I do know is that no one wants to have to pay more on top of the bill for broadband. It's like having a car, you can do with it what you want--the government doesn't have the right to bill you for taking your car off-roading washing it. You can do with your car what you please, just how it should stay with your broadband. I use applications such as Ventrilo and Teamspeak, now if the government wants to tax me for talkin with my friends while playing games, that's just ridiculous.
