This net neutrality crap was a soros communist scam
great graphs . what site ?
Government agencies like the FDA,EPA , FEC, IRS etc. are a cancer and unconstitutional. amazing so many freepers and conservatives were fooled by this net neutrality crap that is just a lot of heavy handed government regulation and oversight.
Ronald Reagan was right : Government is not the solution to any problem government is the problem.
I'm glad Trump is reducing government regulations . They were choking the economy and our freedom. i’m amazed at the amount of freepers i had “debates” with on this net neutrality crap. Why do they love government regulations? government is a cancer as the gov schools and comey, clapper, sessions , venezuela etc. prove .
These graphs were from George Washington University at this link, which is sadly extremely Leftist (I am told, but never been there)
On the other hand, while I am sure that they at GWU don't see the increasing weight of legislative overhead as being a negative, people like you, I, and others of like mind do indeed see it as a cancer, and accurately, too.
I must admit that I like using leftist material to buttress a conservative point I may try to make. I enjoy listening to Dan Bongino, because he also takes satisfaction in using their own words against them. (A good example of this is the work by Heather MacDonald in her famous piece from the Wall Street Journal: The Myths of Black Lives Matter and her book "The War on Cops", both of which use government statistics to prove her points.)
Speaking for myself (and I know there are many who agree with me, though not all) I do not eschew all legislation. I am not an advocate of anarchy, I am an advocate of a constitutional republic, and to have one, we must have laws. What I am opposed to is a crushing, overbearing burden of laws that regulate down to the level of what we eat, paper we can use, or light bulbs we can buy.
So, like you, I do see hope in this. We have to start somewhere. Every huge mountain is climbed by starting out with a single step in the right direction.
As for conservatives who buy into "Net Neutrality" I think there are several reasons...the less flattering is that they are self-centered about what they want, and they like things for free (Internet speed) so they sign on. I don't think you can be for it and be a conservative at many levels. But there are also people who buy into it thinking that it should be treated like interstate highways with respect to funding. I think they are just wrong. They accept an incorrect premise to begin, and build off of that.
In both of those cases, it opens the Internet to censorship and government corruption, a Pandora's Box that once opened, will be very, very difficult to seal up again.
Again, good posts you wrote. I enjoyed reading them.
