US House Subcommittee Votes To Kill Net Neutrality

angry tapir writes "A US House of Representatives subcommittee has voted in favor of a resolution to throw out the US Federal Communications Commission's recently adopted net neutrality rules. The communications subcommittee of the House Energy and Commerce Committee voted 15-8 along party lines for a resolution of disapproval that would overturn the FCC's rules."

No, the right wing are the ones to watch for. They're the conservatives, meaning they're taking care of the old guard. The left wing are in liberals, they're in favor of change, so they're not as concerned with making sure the ones with family money keep it.

Yes, politicians say and do what they need to get elected. Yes, they can all be bought off. But if you're talking in general the right wing sides with people that already have money, and that's Corporate American and our current ruling class.

The FCC has never had the power to regulate the internet. You want it regulated by the Feds? Then do it in a legal process. You can't have Federal agencies just assuming they have power without it being given to them by Congress.

I applaud this move by the House.

What has the world come to? Government simply does not and cannot create (net) jobs. They can tax money from one group of people and use that to hire government employees, but that doesn't create jobs, that just creates government jobs. You can vote to not destroy jobs i.e. not tax and regulate companies out of existence. So I'll be taking your "DONE JACK SHIT" as a compliment, thank you very much.

As for "make rich people richer", since when was wealth and profit a bad thing? The economy isn't a zero sum game you know, one person's gain is not another's loss.
