Were you taught something different? Like, it's wrong to steal when you're a child, but it's okay if you're an adult wearing a suit whose enforcers are men in blue costumes?

I'm sure you'd have a problem if my friends and I got together in your neighborhood, had an election, I won, and demanded 20% from you and your neighbors. I'd promise to pave your roads and give you security though.



"with such companies", here in the US there's like what, 2 or 3 reliable cell phone companies? Sprint/ATT/Verizon. I'm fairly certain they all have similar charges regarding the USF. It'd be more moral if the government would stop using force against these companies, that's the better solution than making me have to scurry around and see who's dealing with the theft the best.
