Actually the Spanish-American war would be the most expensive in the realm of taxes collected to fight it. A phone tax was enacted at 3 cents per mile when there were only 14 miles of line. They NEVER did away with the tax. Here we are, 100 years later and it is 10 cents a mile with hundreds of thousands of miles of line and the same damn tax.

Haha...yes, you did leave a comment at my place saying "Wow! Great graph!". Something to that effect. And when I posted the graph, by clicking it, it leads you right to where I first saw it: Flopping Aces.

Nice to see this kind of news make its way around, since it's unlikely to be reported on by the likes of Katie Couric.

Wow.

Now if your site meter shows I've been all in your archives for an hour, be advised that someone ran their mouth and I'm looking for this post.

I have a feeling I'll definitely have that opportunity, sooner than later.

Mmmm, the Span-Am War! One of my favorites, since we had (and I have) the 30-40 Krag and later introduced the 1909 Colt in the Philippines!
