This seems like a financial win for internet providers....
Ah, but simple broadband ‘access’ will only suffice for so long. Surely, the less-fortunate can’t be denied the ‘right’ to free Netflix and other premium streaming services, can they?
Where does it end, liberals?
Control the single largest conduit of information and you control the people.
You and I are going to be paying for these Obama voters getting free hi-speed internet. Look at your cable TV and internet bills and check out all the fees and taxes on it. Most are Federal. Connectivity taxes etc etc
Off the top of my head I think the Federal Government is getting 4-5$ a month from me. This will increase and be used to get lazy ass Obama supporters free or virtually free internet from Comcast etc. In fcat there are already programs for this>>>>>>>>>

Screw these verkakte parasites; go suck some else’s blood, the safety net’s not a god d*mned hammock.
These leeches use our taxes to make a career of indolence.
They enjoy the luxuries because we pay for their necessities whilst they make an industry of subsidized bastardy.

An agency gave itself authority to regulate something and now that agency imposes a tax. Time to abolish the FCC.
