LIke Reagan said :”Government is not the solution. Government is the problem”.

I don’t know if you are one but there seem to be a lot of paid Soros and democrat idiots backing this FCC unelected , Soros funded tyranny.

FCC Internet Takeover Funded By Soros - Net Neutrality Research “Manufactured”

FCC Internet Takeover Funded By Soros - Net Neutrality Research “Manufactured”

The Net Neutrality Coup

The campaign to regulate the Internet was funded by a who’s who of left-liberal foundations.

The net neutrality vision for government regulation of the Internet began with the work of Robert McChesney, a University of Illinois communications professor who founded the liberal lobby Free Press in 2002. Mr. McChesney’s agenda? “At the moment, the battle over network neutrality is not to completely eliminate the telephone and cable companies,” he told the website SocialistProject in 2009. “But the ultimate goal is to get rid of the media capitalists in the phone and cable companies and to divest them from control.”

At best this “net neutrality” b.s. is inserting the FCC into areas that have no need of government oversight - where is the problem now??

As the saying goes, “the power to regulate is the power to destroy” — why are all the lefty foundations and law professors having wet dreams over “net neutrality”??

b/c it puts the FCC and federal judges in the position of adjudicating every kind of issue that comes up in the future about internet traffic flows.

I found this detailed overview (which is from 2004 but still seems highly relevant):

The socialists want to control the Internet - that’s enough reason for me to want to keep them far away from any more legal oversight.

Ironically (at end of paper linked above) even a lefty like John Conyers could not see any good reason for extending govt oversight in this area. Don’t know whether he and some like him have been changed by pressure groups, but this “net neutrality” b.s. has always been lefty pressure groups searching for a way to grab more oversight of Internet traffic issues.
