In reply to the discussion: Net neutrality secrecy: No one knows what the FCC approved [View all]Takket
(21,831 posts)Ran into a post on line by a self confessed Libertarian saying that the FCC approved net neutrality as a pretext to basically tax the hell out of the internet. He's saying we will be taxed "for each minute of usage" and that we have no idea what is coming or what rules were approved. So what's the deal? Is this RW paranoia or is any of this really possible?????????
Edit: His rant copied below:
President Obama and the FCC now has imposed a Regulating of the internet. For those who see no problem of this you must like not like freedom. The people for net neutrality will say it is to help small businesses compete, but in reality, it it nothing more than the govt finding a way to muscle its way into the internet. Regulate its content, control its content, and then add a slew of new taxes.
The FCC has a 322 page plan about net neutrality and refuses to let the general public view it. I guess this is familar to the Nancy Pelosi quote We have to pass the bill if you want to find out what's in it? Ah, the great transparency of the commiecrats rears its ugly head once again. Soon, we will be remembering when the nanny state actually allowed people the freedom of speech to say and believe what you want. Because those times are effectively over.
And, Hillary will now have a whole new set of taxes she can impose to further the Socialist agenda.
When is America going to fully wake up? When will democrats grow a pair and stand up for their rights as a free american citizen and stop believing politicians who lie and have an agenda? I honestly believe Democrats would rip up the Constitution if they were given the chance. Well, congrats, with net neutrality you just got one step closer to attaining that goal.
Why can you people support Freedom and individual liberty instead of the letter on the ballot box? Republicans were wrong for standing up the Patriot act, if Democrats stand up for Net Neutrality, you will be wrong too. Unless you enjoy less freedom.
What say you? Would you rather live free or not?
When the govt starts adding a dozen new taxes and pay per minute access to your internet are you still going to like this? My goddess, the lack of foresight of people into the bad aspects of a bill is incredible. You have to take that into account, why do people only look at one aspect? Its like the dolts who are all for pipeline or nuclear not mentioning how the envirement could be destroyed.
We must have more foresight into the negative aspect our nations most important bills. Too many people trust their party.
