Just like electricity, these people think bandwidth is magically created out of thing air.

Well, if there’s one thing the poor could really use, it’s the ability to stream movies!

Its a basic human right don’t you know....and racist if you don’t provide it.

Free obamao phones, foodstamps, section8 housing, free health care and now really, really cheap internet....it pays to be poor.

Every year people with no ambition, skills, or common sense are doing better and better with no effort required. It isn’t quite the same for the rest of us.

This explains why my rates have skyrocketed over the past year.

I don’t have Cable, just 600mbs and phone.

So I guess I am paying for some poor Black Family to stream Dolemite Is My Name

The Federal poverty line for 1 person is $12880. Higher for larger households.

This will likely include some non taxable money, like a Roth extraction.

200% of that would be $25K. Don’t know why they didn’t just say X2, because a 200% increase on 12,880 is actually 3X, not 2X.

This will increase the popularity of the lie flat and John Galt movements.

Umm, NO ! Your tax dollars are picking up everything above that $30. Another government handout at the expense of the working man.
