Rand Paul Moves To Block New "Net Neutrality" Rules

SonicSpike writes with news about another bump in the road for net neutrality. U.S. Senator Rand Paul, a Republican presidential hopeful, on Wednesday introduced a resolution to block new regulations on Internet service providers, saying they would 'wrap the Internet in red tape.' The 'net neutrality' rules, which are slated to take effect in June, are backed by the Obama administration and were passed by the Democratic majority of the Federal Communications Commission in February. AT&T Inc and wireless and cable trade associations are challenging them in court. Paul's resolution, if adopted, would allow the Senate to fast-track a vote to establish that Congress disapproves of the FCC's new rules and moves to nullify them.

Moron.

Business very much DO exist because the consumer needs their services, and specifically because in order to obtain those services they are willing to give businesses $$$$$. Businesses aren't doing anyone a favor by existing, though that's what you and your kind imply. Their existence is wholly and completely dependent on the fact that there are people willing to give them money in exchange. That's why they came into exist: they want that money.

Your view is the view that businesses are doing consumers (and employees too) a favor, that consumers exist to buy things from businesses.

You are the poster child of the stupid "libertarian". I work with some actual libertarians (as well as about a dozen stereotypical "libertarians"), who actually deserve the term without quotes. Even they think you're an idiot who has no clue what he's talking about. Hell, I'm more libertarian than you (albeit of the Left Libertarian flavor, similar to Bill Maher and a few others).

At this point I'm more inclined to think you're not just a troll, but a Deep Cover Liberal, the things you say are so idiotic.
