1) Unemployment arising from those who will be displaced due to the decrease of economic activity. This not only includes traditional telemarketers but other sales persons who rely on phone contacts to make a living. Like Realtors, Insurance & Financial salesmen; and may include other educated professionals such as attorneys, physicians, and therapists that are trying to break out on their own.
2) That politician's shortsighted behavior could lead to further legislation protecting us 'dependent' citizens from the e-mail, snail mail, and billboard advertising that we somehow, by ourselves, can not suppress the influence of. Once this happens, I wonder what will happen with regard to the economic activity in those industries included in my first point.
3) Can you imagine being a telemarketer or anyone of those professionals that might use a phone to solicit business in order to earn a living? Now imagine having a small portion of YOUR income taxed in order to fund the administrative and enforcement costs of the very 'Registry' that hampers your ability to make a living the way you have chosen to do so.
it's unbelievable that this has happened. I think someone with some courage should deliberately violate the law in order to eventually make these arguments before the U.S. Supreme Court. I think these are valid arguments, don't you? I would just enjoy watch our elected officials having to choose between acknowledging their stupidity or actually pushing for a constitutional amendment to reinforce their non-belief in freemarket solutions.
