FCC Considering Free Internet For USA
jbolden writes "According to the Wall Street Journal, the FCC is considering a plan to provide free wireless internet. The plan would involve some level of filtering, but might allow adults to opt out. CTIA has argued that this business model has traditionally failed (see Slate magazine's analysis as to why)."
You ever eat food that didn't kill you ? (FDA), or drink water? How about housing the hard core criminals in prison?
Does it snow in your area? Plows are a nice thing to have.
I pay for all my food. Which in turn pays fee's to the FDA. I also pay for my water. Criminals should be shot and the family should be charged for the execution just like in China. I also paid for snow removal when I lived up North.

I'm pretty sure that over 50% of my federal income tax and SS is for worthless programs that benefit the lazy.
For me, the government should provide both wireless and healthcare. Better than spending the money on propping up the failing rich or killing foreign 'terrorists'. But then I live in the UK so maybe I have a different perspective.
So the FCC screws us all for the entire Bush Era. Then, in the last few weeks he can make a press release, Kevin Martin promises FREE WIRELESS INTERNET FOR EVERYONE!!!
Even though he won't have to pay for it, oversee it, or anything. Even though he could have done it while he did have those responsibilities. Even though the cablecos/telcos will kill the plan, but Democrats actually running the FCC who never promised it will get the blame.
And just to prove that the whole stunt is political sabotage BS, he makes sure to promise "porn-free". No word on how that would work - which it wouldn't. And certainly no word on why porn is the #1 priority to protect us from over national airwaves, rather than all the fraud and other national security threats that come with any network, especially free nationwide wireless.
Martin is a fool. Only an experienced Republican hitman like him could actually give FREE WIRELESS INTERNET a bad name, without even giving it to us.

Not only will it be free it will make you a better lover and help feed miserable brown babies in the world.
Don't like paying taxes? Quit your job. Grow your own food. Make your own electricity. Live off the grid.
Not willing to do all that? Then pay your taxes and quit complaining.
"But this one goes to 11!"
You're "pretty sure" because you're too lazy to look it up, right?
Take a look at the chart linked.
If you really believe this, and are against the Constitution,
The constitution didn't provide for medical care or welfare.
The modern welfare state: Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, farm subsidies and other so-called assistance programs for the needy, the downtrodden, and the sick â" funded through taxation.
But did the Founding Fathers intend for a government-provided social safety net? The evidence clearly says no.

You would fit in better in china. I applaud their ability to execute the criminals that you fight to keep alive. I think every liberal should be offered the chance to let the death row criminal they're pining for move into their guest room permanently to preserve their life.
Now it's not society carrying the load. It's the person crying for a child molester or a murderer. Let him massacre your family, you'll be better for it.
