If you put that $6.38 charge in the bill where it belongs, you're paying $6.68 in taxes on a bill of $25.06, or 27%.

You are very good at being an apologist for the grubberment. (In this case, those nice guys at the FCC.)
Gee, I feel SO much better now with a tax of
ONLY 27%.
Wow, what a relief that is.
No matter what you call it,
it's still government mandated. And it's still a substantial amount of money down the drain, for very little in return.
