Senators want to nix 1898 telecom tax
Declan McCullagh writes in C|Net News:
The Spanish-American War may have ended over a century ago, but anyone in the U.S. with a telephone line is paying a 3 percent "luxury" tax created to fund the conflict in 1898.
That's a situation that a number of Republican senators would like to change. This week, they introduced a bill to repeal the Spanish-American War levy.
