US House Subcommittee Votes To Kill Net Neutrality

Posted by samzenpus on from the rest-in-peace dept.

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."

    Democrats - owned by Hollywood/RIAA/MPAA
    Republicans - owned by Big Oil/FOX/etc
    Independents - get bought out by one or the other as soon as they're elected
    Green - owned by smaller but equally extremist radical groups that wouldn't mind passing ridiculous legislation for their own interests
    That drunk guy asleep at the park bench - We don't know his name or damn would he get our vote.

    America!

    It's all over for you, now. All that's left now, is for the super-rich owners to fuck your bleeding corpse.
