...voice mail messages were sent to discourage students and staff from transferring callers who identified themselves as Nynex or Harvard employees, accepting collect calls from people they did not know and responding to messages requesting them to call back at a "toll-free" number that would charge callers $25 to $50 for 30 seconds, according to Murphy...

Americans love tax cuts. The politicians who offer reduced taxes seem to collect the most votes. Just look at the past: Walter Mondale in 1984 said a tax hike might be necessary, and lost to Reagan in a landslide. George Bush's 1988 "Read my lips, no new taxes" pledge earned him the White House.

In a full-time job paying $4.90 per hour, she would earn only $7,632 after subtracting for taxes, child care, transportation and clothing--and she would lose her health benefits. Not an easy life, by any means...
