Brazilian Pirates Hijack US Military Satellites

blantonl writes "Brazilians all over the country are using modified amateur radio equipment to communicate with each other using US Military communications satellites — effectively creating their own CB radio network on the backs of the US Military.

    When someone is forced to pay proportionally more, do they also get proportionally more representation?

    A rich person will already pay quite a bit more in if we were just using a sales tax. I never understand why there should be an extra punishment.
