VanDeKoik described it well enough. You can probably find any subject under the sun discussed there. Just search a word or subject and there will likely be a subreddit created to discuss. If not, they encourage you to start one. There are plenty of religious, military, gun-owners, etc groups. You will of course be able to find every decadent, fallen subject under the sun as well..some that you might have never imagined. Just search carefully, and click thoughtfully :)

He also confirmed the “future” could be defined as “next week”.

Let me note an internet fee
Pay for one Gig, nineteen for me
'Cause I'm the taxman, yeah, I'm the taxman.

Should your bandwidth appear too small
Be thankful I don't take it all
'Cause I'm the taxman, yeah I'm the taxman

If you surf the net, I'll tax your hits,
If you twitter it, I'll tax the twits.
If you post a pic, I'll tax the scene,
If you read your blogs, I'll tax your screen.

Don't ask me what I want it for
If you don't want to pay some more.
'Cause I'm the taxman, yeah, I'm the taxman.

Now when you use the internet
URLs sink you more in debt.
'Cause I'm the taxman, yeah, I'm the taxman
And you're working for no one but me.

Adapted from the CNS news article, "FCC Chairman Concedes Future Internet Tax Is Possible After All," with some help from the Beatles.

“In a surprise admission”

Surprise to whom? It will also be a “surprise” when websites start disappearing for “inappropriate content” and “hate speech”. The big themes of this administration are “tax the rich” and “shred the First Amendment”.

My TV, internet, local and long distance phone are packaged together by one provider.

Combined local, state, federal taxes are over 20%.

Same here, not sure about the taxes part, but I’m sure it’s around the same.

Yeah, but Onstar is voluntary. This won't be.

So, tell us Tom Terrific, how many FCC divisions do you command to enforce your neo-Nazi diktat?

Here in San Diego when we had our last Drought,the city insisted on a 50% cut in water usage. The goal was achieved in celebration. The San Diego water folks realized that they also lost 50% of the income, needing the money, water rates were more than doubled.
