IF THEY CAN AFFORD TO PROVIDE THE SERVICE FOR THEM AT THAT PRICE, THEN THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO PROVIDE THAT SERVICE TO EVERYBODY AT THAT PRICE.................
So you need to show your tax returns in order to get this? or.. what?
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.

Amen.
Umm, NO ! Your tax dollars are picking up everything above that $30. Another government handout at the expense of the working man.
"They" aren't affording anything. All the other subscribers are paying for it through fees. Taxpayers, including those who don't use internet service, are paying for it as well.
America gets sodomized by the internet providers. Worst service on earth in the developed world, most expensive.
And let’s not forget the Obama phones which have been used in plenty of illegal activity . . .even in small town USA.
Whoa!
Yes, tax dollars can be used to buy volume-discounted, high-speed internet access for everybody.
But such a service needs to be worked through state social spending programs, not run with unconstitutional federal taxes. (Otherwise, appropriately amend Constitution.)
"[...] a single courageous State may, if its citizens choose, serve as a laboratory; and try novel social and economic experiments without risk to the rest of the country." —Justice Louis Brandeis, Laboratories of Democracy.
More specifically, please note that Justice Joseph Story had indicated that welfare (poor laws) is a state power issue, not the business of desperate, federal elite Democrats.
"10th Amendment: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
"The power to regulate manufactures is no more confided to congress, than the power to interfere with the systems of education, the poor laws, or the road laws of the states [emphases added]." —Justice Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution 2, 1833.
"From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]." —United States v. Butler, 1936.
The problems is that the very corrupt, post-17th Amendment ratification Congress keeps stealing state revenues and citizens' wallets by means of unconstitutional federal taxes, taxes that Congress cannot reasonably justify under its constitutional, Article I, Section 8-limited powers.
"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
Otherwise stated, the states are unthinkingly relying on the corrupt feds returning state revenues stolen by the feds, unconstitutional "strings" attached to so-called "federal" funding, in order to run their states.
Corrections, insights welcome.
The remedy for unconstitutionally big, alleged election-stealing federal government oppressing everybody under their boots...
Patriots need to work with new, 2023 midterm state lawmakers endorsed by Trump to eliminate the unconstitutional middleman, the unconstitutionally big federal government, from "helping" the states to manage their revenues.
And to make the elimination of unconstitutional federal taxes permanent, patriots need to continue supporting their new state lawmakers to repeal the 16th and ill-conceived 17th Amendments.
Again, insights welcome.
My income makes no difference, the infrastructure doesn’t exist, so without “over $20,000” build-out fee I have nothing but satellite (which has not worked all year...) or weak cell phone.
