I have $10.19 in Sprint surcharges and fees and $1.50 for a Wisconsin Police/Fire Protection Fee. We can thank our ***** Governor for that one, he's never met a new fee he didn't like.

That's like 35% of the cost of an ED 450 plan...ridiculous...
I think at this point I'd be trying to use an out-of-state relatives address if possible...

If people thought about it, they would see how much they are being taxed. We pay income tax, state tax etc. Everytime you buy anything, it's taxed. It's estimated after we are taxed, we only have 58% of our incomes that are not taxed one way or another.

and liqour went up a good spike too..

Double shady... Can't even afford liquor to drown out the depression from tax increases...

[Jo_795]

haha u know it... theres like a 20 cent charge with each item that has liqour plus the new spiked up taxes with it! i havent bought liqour in a while so i forgot the exact percentage but they charge just to buy it plus tax!!

[Jo_795]

Did you know in mexico theres no such thing as TAX!!! i havent been there in a while but man it was sweet... just pay the stated price and thats it no more and no less

On Long Island paying two county taxes cuz I have my phone number in one county's area code and exchange and I live in another.

[socalstorm]

I realize this may be off topic because you guys are talking about Sprint bills. However, after looking at my wireless bill, I am stunned that I am paying so little .... here in California. By the way, my plan is a family plan, 1400 minutes and have 4 phones.

Sprint Surcharges are rates we choose to collect from you to help defray costs imposed on us. Surcharges are not taxes or amounts we are required to collect from you by law. Surcharges may include: Federal USF, regulatory charges, administrative charges, gross receipts charges, and other charges incurred to recover costs associated with governmental programs. The amounts, and the components used to calculate Surcharge amounts, are subject to change.

Wow; the disparity in the amounts paid is causing jealousy. I just think the amount of these surcharges and taxes are excessive. In fact I remember coming across an article some time ago about how certain types of the taxes/surcharges tacked onto phone bills are illegal to collect when it's commercial/publically traded corporations doing the collecting.

Texas does not have county tax, but we pay the 911 surcharges and federal and state taxes, so about 30 a month, but my wife gets about 25 off a month for being a teacher, and i get 15 off a month for being a nurse, so its like we dont pay taxes.
