Business property/inventory taxes are extremely unwise, and I'm glad Verizon avoided them. Governments shouldn't have the right to tax anything and everything. It's pure avarice. NJ should focus on abolishing those taxes, but NJ has terrible government all the way down, which explains this and a lot of other things.

Taxing companies for providing phone service is a great way to increase the cost of phone service.

How do you propose the government do anything without taxes?

There are a significant number of people who propose that the government not do anything, although when pressed there are often things which they think "should be done" by someone who is not them, and which historically have not been done well out of the goodness of people's hearts.

As a matter of policy this has been disproven over and over.

I'm being downvoted because this is Ars, and non-leftist posts are always downvoted. Always.

Pfft. I downvoted both of you because you were talking about downvotes. Always will.
