Now a days people used texting as their main form of communication instead of calling. Since is easier and much faster. You don’t have to wait in the line for the other person to answer, sometimes you are in a place you cant talk loudly like a library and texting is the best option.

Thanks to this, the California government is considering adding a tax for texting. There is already taxes for the calls and now they are considering adding taxes to texts also. In my opinion, this is not fair. As mentioned in the article, texting is like emailing.It shouldn’t have any cost. People with end in depts, because no one will stop texting.

I do understand why they want to do it. Since now a days everyone uses texts messages, the idea of adding taxes to the phone calls is not generating the amount of money they think they would have. (because now a days no one uses phone calls as before.)   But still It should not have any cost. It would harm many people as I said before, no one will stop texting. In my case, I text for everything, it is best and easiest way to communicate. If I am on a doctor appointment and someone calls, I can text that I am busy without interrupting , or if need to tell something to my mom I just text and she see it whenever she can. Only if its urgent or very important I use phone calls.
