Would You Pay an Internet Broadband Tax?
An anonymous reader writes "Remember the Internet Tax Freedom Act? The whole point was to prevent the government from ever taxing the Internet. But that's the proposal from the FCC — and backed by companies like Google, AT&T and Sprint. Would you pay a buck or two extra for fast access — or vote for someone who thinks you should? 'If members of Congress understood that the FCC is contemplating a broadband tax, they'd sit up and take notice,' said Derek Turner, research director for Free Press, a consumer advocacy group that opposes the tax."
If it means universal service provisions for broadband internet access, then yes.
And you actually believe that will ever happen? With the sociopathic filth that gets elected over and over again? Oh, wait, let me guess... *your* party is not like that at all, right?
Will you people ever learn? EVER?!
I fully agree. I think he has never heard the other side of the story. He's never been in Vietnam and seen the the effects of the orange agent, nor in Irak, where the kids play in the tanks destroyed with depleted uranium ammuntion. He does not know that his goverment trained most of the dictators that in the 70s and 80s govern Latin America.
There is a reason why people usually don't like the USians, and it is your foreign policies. You seem to forget that you are 5% of the world, not the whole one. Improve that, and you will see how people will start liking you again.
"You seem to forget that you are 5% of the world, not the whole one. Improve that, and you will see how people will start liking you again." Who cares? no one likes the big dog on the block because they all want to be him. I love how much you guys point out small things that the U.S Government has done, but not that the U.S people also give to 'needy' countries the most, or that when it wins a war, the U.S never has taken the 'spoils' of victory as any other country would. In fact they end up rebuilding their country for them. Ya big bad U.S.
