... they're leaving the important people that actually keep the country running OUT of the bunker?
What will they do if they come back out of the bunker after a nuclear strike? There'd be no industry, and a complete break down of civilisation. Katrina springs to mind. Maybe with all those government-funded lawyers they could sue some filesharers and live off that.
We can do without politicians and bureaucrats (there's plenty more where they came from), but entrepreneurs and businesses are vital to keeping every day life sane.
Is that all they have to offer? Why not make a business of it instead, and charge astronauts impossibly high amounts for fuel. It would be a monopoly, after all.
SMS already costs me far too much, they should be subsidising it instead!
How would they tax email anyway? Ask my ISP? I don't even use the email account my ISP provided. Are they going to subpoena Gmail and Hotmail to find out how many emails I've sent? It's completely rediculous.
Why not tax something more tangible like air instead?
8 years to build a test reactor? When I was a lad I had to build three in a single weekend, in the snow, and it was uphill both ways! Once I only managed two and I was beaten with a leather belt. Quite right too! You kids these days...
I think you're all missing the point of the act - it's called the "Computer Spyware Protection Act." It's for protecting spyware.
Hmm does it count as clicking 'accept' if I buy a box with Windows on it? I didn't choose to put it there.

Gambling is bad because:
1) People lose lots of money
2) It's a waste of time
3) It's basically extortion
So, to fix this problem let's
1) Fine gamblers $10,000
2) Lock them up for 5 years
3) Did I say $10,000?
