Some idiots even on this forum trust the FCC to improve the internet. Ridiculous government can only destroy.

They buy all this net neutrality bs lie that is just socialism(government control). There is nothing wrong with the Internet and even if there were government idiots are not the ones to fix it but the free market is.

The free market has done an outstanding job of “controlling” the Internet. One of my Dad’s favorite sayings: “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”

In 1913 the the Federal Income Tax was sold to the public as a tax on the very rich only at 7% of their incomes and only 1% to all others who after an exemption would owe no taxes and no filing was required for those that owed no taxes. More than 98% of the public never saw anything related to income taxes until years later when it hit them because it had grown and ‘snuck up on everyone’.

100 years later we see the Federal Income Tax as a weapon used politically.

The point of this history is that the Federal Government always comes into controversial issues using benign language that purports to affect no one negatively and is otherwise only positive in its effects. In this case a simple promise is made that internet rates will be regulated so that no one will be charged more than policy rates dictate.

If you like your internet rate, you can keep your internet rate.

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.

Look for this law to reach fed high courts and be struck down in no time.
