Get ready for your cable rates to go up. The fools in the government think that taxes against business are a disincentive. Morons.

Tax the people to allowing spying on the people.... one thing both parties can agree on.

Who gave the FCC power to levy taxes?

"The first obligation is...the safety of the people,"No. The first obligation is the rights of the people. The government is granted power so that it can protect individual rights, not so that it can violate them. Fred's right to safety does not entitle him to violate Jane's right to property--socialist theory notwithstanding.

Not just cable rates...what about your monthly/yearly ISP subscription fee? I guess we'll now have to pay an FCC tax on our ISP subscriptions, as cable subscribers do that already. So I guess they finally found a way to tax internet access.
