    So, you're suggesting that schools will improve if unions can steal even more money to buy more hookers and blow for politicians and mobsters?

    Because punishing people for reading the wrong websites will work.

    Don't confuse his stated goal with his actual goal. By establishing a government power to punish people for wrongthink in this highly unpopular activity of looking at head-chopping goatfucker web sites, the power becomes available to punish people for opposing the government in any way at all.
