Did you know that when you pay your home phone bill and your cell phone bill you are also paying an extra charge so that the government can give cell phones and cell phone service and computers to people who supposedly can't afford either? Check on your wireless telephone bill "Federal Universal Service Charge". This is a monthly fee(tax?) that you pay so low income people can have access to cell phones and computers. This fee is set at a percentage based on the consumer's phone bill.
Where is the incentive to go to work if the government is giving away all these additional life style conveniences that working people have to buy with their own hard earned money? Politicians make it too easy for people to stay home and not seek employment - and once again the working citizenry is footing the bill.
Washington can help out with food, housing, clothing and a traditional phone line(basic needs)-but should not subsidize a free cell phone program that is riddled with abuse (10-20 free cell phones per person) which are then being resold for money.
