L.A. has a 10% tax on phone service. GTE bills this tax on all calls I
make including LD calls to other states and countries.

Any calls which are billed directly by a long distance carrier do
not include this tax.

Does anyone know if this is correct treatment?  I have tried to find
out from GTE, but they claim they do not know anything about the
tax.  I find it incredible, but when I remember it is GTE, not so much.
