When even the liberal New Yorker magazine is complaining and making jokes about the tax charges on monthly cable television bills, you know it's a problem. From a humor piece in the April 4 issue of the magazine, headlined, "Explaining Your Time Warner Bill":

$17.23 — Basic service

$37.35 — Standard service

$40.81 — Actual service

$12.50 — Federal taxes

$11.75 — Federal taxes, part two

$6.85 — New York City taxes

$5.35 — Fort Wayne, Indiana, city taxes
