More taxation without representation

Agencies shouldn’t have this power.

Federal Government just reached into my wallet again and STOLE some more of my hard earned money, the bastards.

The day is soon coming when I will stop working, and stop paying these thieving bastards anything.

Lifeline currently has about 13 million subscribers, only a fraction of the 40 million who are eligible.

How is almost a third of the eligible subscribers considered just a fraction? Talk about propaganda and stupidity.

As my Dad (RIP) used to say...

“A Kennedy is someone who wants to give your money to the poor and get credit for doing it”

An administrative agency decrees a tax.

We know how this ends.

I object. I don’t enjoy paying my internet bill, but I pay it because it means enough to me to even consider giving up some other things in order to have it.

Now I have to pay for everyone else, too.

I feel the same way as when I am in line at the grocery, blanching at the size of my bill; while the person ahead of me is using an EBT card, buying expensive items I can’t afford, and in huge quantities.

So I am skimping to buy for me, and he’s putting his food on my tab.

Thanks, Congress...

You can say this with confidence:

Baraq Obama has made the term “lame duck President” completely obsolete for Democrats.

America has been on a “rotten to the core” trajectory for generations.
Few men are worthy the title “manhood” willing to do what’s necessary.

So the FCC can now create a program that will spend billions of dollars on subsidies without appropriating the money from Congress first?

You know, I've noticed that the courts have no trouble with the concept that certain things are above the written law, like making life comfortable for faggots in dresses and such, but it occurs to me that a much more obvious example of "fundamental rights" is this concept of being able to keep the fruits of your own labor.

This notion that other people aren't entitled to what belongs to you, even if they are a majority.

If we could just get the courts to apply the same thinking they use on Transgenderism to income, we could put taxation beyond the power of elected officials and the majorities that put them there.

“Ain’t socialism great?”

Buy stock in NetZero and other cheap internet providers.
