(I can't believe I missed this the first time.)
Why do you think we should increase taxes because the government can't curb spending? I want to buy a new car, does that mean my employer should automatically give me a $50k raise?
What's really nice about this approach is that it lets carriers raise their fees and then point fingers at the government. These companies already make hundreds of millions, if not billions, in profit. Instead of taking this out of their already hyperinflated salaries, the CEOs just pass the buck onto customers.
We shouldn't have to pay for the company's fees and they shouldn't have to pay for the government's inability to handle money.
On top of that, what do you think will happen when all these fees and taxes start accumulating on Average Joe? He'll either have to get rid of a cell phone or cut back in some other form. Either way, that takes more money out of the economy. That is a bad thing to have happen in a recession/depression.
Instead of fixing the problem and doing some internal grooming, the government just milks us to feed it's horrendously obese labor appetite and exacerbates the issue.

And, well.. wow. How the hell can anyone bitch about increased taxes with the unfathomable deficit we're facing?

It won't be fixed until the upcoming Second Revolution. Eventually, we'll take back our country and let a different group of people hold all the power until they ultimately get as corrupt as the current govt we have now.

Instead of stimulating private business which has been a stronghold of the US, the "stimulus" focuses on spending for welfare and big government projects, while ratcheting up taxes (especially starting in 2011). 1 trillion in new taxes over 10yrs, yippe! Gas will probably be $10/gallon by the time Obama is out of office, not that it will matter since they are proposing the "mile tax" now.

Yep, the stimulus will save your job... if you work for the government:

The road to being rich is paved with government work. Shit, I don't know a government employee that isn't rich. Do you?

Right. This is the part where, unable to find a source to back up the claim someone else made, you demand I prove it for you.
Nothing about you is intellectually honest. That might work on your poor friends and family, but to me it makes you just another liar.
