The phone company is being threatened with aggression (whether that be fines, closing the company, or prison) if they do not relinquish a percentage of their revenue to the US government for the purpose of wealth redistribution.
This is the problem. It's not about consumers, it's not about how the companies handle how they're going to pay for that percentage. It has to do with the existence of the very program itself.
