Taxing Text Messages?
Makarand writes "SMS is a very popular way of communication in the Phillipines
with an estimated 14 million phone subscribers sending an average of 10 text
messages a day. However, that may all change if a proposal from the IMF to impose a tax
on SMS is implemented to solve the country's fiscal problems according
to an article
in The Straits Times. The IMF is basing
its suggestion on the fact that the country's tax base currently rests on
the troubled sectors of the economy- banking and manufacturing, which cannot
be squeezed anymore. Hopefully, our political think tanks will not get any such ideas."
That's cause the U.S. will bomb the hell out of anybody if the gas price goes
up one cent.

We have think tanks over here? I thought we just had televisions.

... so if taxes go up the US will bomb itself? No wonder you have such a reputation for friendly fire incidents.
But taxes are set by your government

These IN SOVIET RUSSIA messages are taxing my patience...
I wouldn't have a problem with it here in the U.S. if it was, as someone said, 1/10th of a cent!
Of course, looking back to reality, it would go to causes
I differ on.
Sigh, when I was younger, you could do a search on "Bush" and come up with, um, things, other than politics.
