FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler appears poised to propose new rules that would classify Internet service providers as public utilities in a move designed to ensure everyone has the same access to free content online. [ ]

There is a nice distinction in a definition of the difference between ‘rich’ and ‘wealthy’ in terms of money.
A rich person can live off the interest of their principle (1st Order).
A wealthy person can live off the interest of the interest of their principle (2nd Order).
The Federal Income Tax does not affect the ‘wealthy’, it affects the ‘rich’ and the middle class.
Messing with the First and Second Amendments just won’t be tolerated.
May I add, to review the difference between *old money* and *new money*? ;)

Net Neutrality was a concept developed by an avowed Marxist professor named McChesney (poss. Un. of Wisconsin). It would put the internet under govt control (i.e. Obama’s Marxist control).
Check the internet for more on McChesney as well as www.keywiki.org and www.DiscoverTheNetwork.org.
Bingo!
There are always idiots on this forum arguing for letting the FCC impose their net neutrality on us. I don't know if they are democrat moles or just idiots.
Look for this law to reach fed high courts and be struck down in no time.
All this effort to control the internet will fail thanks to this new idea called outernet:
Yeah I don’t want them to control it either. The lawlessness of the Executive is unbelievable, hope this isn’t the latest chapter.
Good post!

It's amazing how many people even on this forum trust government when government says that they want to fix something that isn't broken.
Why do they trust government and not the free market?
Capitalism or the free market has created most of the technology like smart phones and capitalism is what is driving the economy. government is just a drag on capitalism. I mean new products are coming out every day and technology in electronics is improving every day and that is being driven by private companies that are innovating like Google, tmobile, IBM ,INtel, APple, Samsung, ZTE, HTC,Amazon,Sharp,Toyota,Walmart, Zeiki etc. that technology advancement is not being driven by the FCC nor DMV nor IRS but by private companies(capitalism) innovating and producing and improving tech and efficiency and quality.
Thanks for that.Looks promising.
I’m going to look into it:
All this effort to control the internet will fail thanks to this new idea called outernet:
remember if its a utility we will all pay new surcharges to subsidize it for the “poor” (Obama voters)
I LOVE it! So appropriate!
