    I’m just here wondering who out there wouldn’t want to be able to call the emergency line.

    It shouldn’t be a separate fee, but rather incorporated into the tax that pays for all the emergency services anyway.

      It’s a tax. You can’t refuse to pay it, it’s just itemized out like that. Only way to avoid paying it is to not pay for a phone.

      It is a regressive tax which is bad (everyone who has a phone line pays the same instead of taxing the rich more) but there are bigger worries in America.
