Surcharges/Taxes

Dear Verizon,
Please respond and help us loyal customers. We have been unsuccessful on our own in extracting information from other phone and cable companies. They either do not have, or do not want to provide, information. The monthly surcharges/taxes on phone and cable service are now of concern because they continue to increase without explanation, without providing a trail, without recourse, without a tax break. We remember when these taxes were imposed via a Gore bill back in the mid 90s. We were all taken by surprise, but promised they would remain low, negotiable, and countered with a tax write off. They now average $10/month; that's $120/year; times 2 = $240/year; times 10 years = $2400. THAT IS A LOT OF MONEY FOR many of us working, tax-paying citizens who used to be middle class but are rapidly becoming lower class. We need them explained AND we need them lowered or negotiable or able to be written off on annual income tax. Providers will not respond. Their standard template text/'blurb' is ambiguous. School tax? Computer tax? State or national tax? It should, then, be able to be written off. Help. Thank you.
