Same goes for Internet sales tax.
We all know that whatever the gvt touches turns to shit.
Let the NSA rule the net.
FCC should stick to censoring superbowl clothing malfunctions and leave the internet alone.
Bruce Bartlett says Obama is a conservative President.
lolz
Hey Obama—Keep your hands off of my internet.
The idiot is using “everyone” as a ploy to gain control for his own devise
Manbearpig invented the net.
It’s the Chicago mob.
Follow the money.
I’m sure there’s a regime affiliate or two standing to benefit here.
Obama is a hardcore Socialist and desires to regulate everything, even your internet and favorite websites.
Then they surcharge it like the phone bill so the freeloaders can get free internet. Big government needs big money.
Reclassification under Title II, which for the first time would apply 1930s-era utility regulation to the Internet,
“We cannot allow broadband networks to cut special deals to prioritize Internet traffic...”

” Tax-free Internet shopping is safe for now thanks to Speaker John A. Boehner.
A bill granting states the ability to force out-of-state websites to collect sales tax is dead, according to Boehner’s spokesman.
“The speaker has made clear in the past he has significant concerns about the bill, and it won’t move forward this year,” said spokesman Kevin Smith. “The Judiciary Committee continues to examine the measure and the broader issue. In the meantime, the House and Senate should work together to extend the moratorium on internet taxation without further delay.”

Wow!! The gall of this guy in mind blowing!!
Talk about classic projection.
The truth is he wants to be the one restricting access and the one picking winners and losers.
Somebody needs to regulate the administration before it is too late.
If I were setting the GOP agenda the WH would be lucky to have hotel style toilet paper.
Their funding would be cut so bad that he might actually resign.
And he would have to buy his own commercial plane ticket home- wherever that is.
Got to let the heavy hand of government “regulate” the internet to keep it free. Hoo boy. Ain’t totalitarianism grand.
When you use a utility —let’s say power— you create public documents.
Lots of times they first spot pot growers by seeing the infra-red signature of equipment those guys use, but it’s legally a grey area.
Now they suspect what he’s doing, they then get his power bill, a public document, and if it’s SKY HIGH for, say, one person, then they can demonstrate reasonable suspicion, and they get a judge’s signature for a raid.
And then that guy goes away, surrenders cash and vehicles, maybe his house, too.
SO:
After you’ve been freeping and so on, it’s perfectly legal for them to see the details of your UTILITY USAGE, and presto..!
You’re a dangerous “terrorist”, or something.
Lack of competition is not what is hurting internet access in this country, regulatory pseudo-monopolies are the problem.
Going back to a system of so-called “natural monopolies” for broadband would make the situation a hundred times worse... unless you’re the CEO of Time-Warner.
This is simply crony capitalism at its best. Under this hair-brained idea, Obama’s furiously fellating friends over at the major media corporations would gain access to local monopolies, instead of having to compete with cable broadband providers, DSL providers, and wireless providers for lower rates and better speeds, your government would award an internet service provider monopoly to ONE provider in a given area — resulting in even higher prices, even lower quality of service, and enshrining Obama’s corporate sycophants in the media at the helm of monopolistic ISP control.
So it will work for everyone? Obola, what do you know about work?
