Internet Taxation

This will fall on deaf ears. The opportunity to increase tax revenue is too alluring.  The opportunity to regulate free speech is too alluring.  Let’s face it, they do not represent the people, they first represent the people who give them money to get elected and second to the government that protects the process over the natural rights of all men (people).  A facsimile to my representatives.

Dear Representative Scott:

Dear Senator Isakson:

Dear Senator Perdue:

FCC utility regulation of the Internet will devastate private investment, undermine competition, and stall innovation. It will undo a broad, bipartisan consensus in favor of an unregulated Internet that has been amazingly successful for decades.It will also impose massive new taxes on Internet service without a vote of Congress.

THERE IS ALMOST NO TIME LEFT. PLEASE ACT NOW.

I urge you stand up to the liberal special interests and stand up for the free-market Internet!Block the FCC order to reduce the Internet to a utility through standalone legislation and through the appropriations process.Please respond to this letter with a clear commitment to act on this issue.

Sincerely,Mr. Otis

They aren’t interested, but I send it anyway.

Have you noticed that when a Republican is in the White House, the ACLU and the Democrats are all about the Bill of Rights and freedom of speech, but when the Democrats are in the White House overt actions intended to thwart free speech are allow to perpetuate?  Democrats and the press often speak of about the hypocrisy of Republicans.  Usually on the same topics they have the cross purposes in mirror image.

In the end we’re all screwed.
