I don't either. However, human nature being what it is and willing to abuse any process that is not regulated in some manner (Enron comes to mind), I'd rather that those companies that traffic in spam apply for an Internet broadcasting license, according to volume, and pay for their annoyance. Look, if you IT guys are smart enough to get around, over and through all this spam and spyware, then you're smart enough to design a tax plan that taxes only the broadcasters and not legitimate e-mail. Physician, heal thyself, or Congress will do it for you and it will hurt.
Govenment is not the solution to the problem. Government is the problem. The private solutions are working. In my experience, spam is on the wane. This is just so much hype so that the government can stick it's nose into the tent and quite frankly I'd rather keep the stinky and greedy government out of my tent, thank you very much.
As bad as spammers are, the government is 1000-times worse.
