[citation][nom]Kami3k[/nom]Lol, so you want the US to look like a joke in all ways all because of your idiotic worship of the free market?[/citation]
well, lets see here, if the government pays for the difference that is about 15 or so $ where i live (being about 25$ a month, and an extra 5 for modem rental) so that 15$ comes out of tax payers pockets to provide poor with internet.
personally, i would prefer this to be a library kind of thing, or possibly an internet cafe type deal for the poor, and not in their homes kind.
or will they raise their prices to offset this, or is this so the government doesn't intrude when they do raise their prices collectively. or, even more evil in my book, do they still make a profit at a 10$ a month price?
and the us is already a joke in internet speeds and cost, where in other countries, i could get a 100mbit up and down line for 20-30$ a month.
[citation][nom]teapot156[/nom]I have a better idea... FCC doesn't subsidize ANYONE's internet access, and the Feds can lower my taxes. I'm tired of paying for poor people that continue to make bad decisions and tend to have way to many kids all on my dime.[/citation]
yet you cant say that, and that being the truth, without sounding like a douche. im behind you on that though.
[citation][nom]acadia11[/nom]You mean so we can continue to behind the curve where places like England, Japan, Korea, etc ... get their citizens 50mbs for much cheaper prices. The GOP and you guys can go away with your let's have America actually be behind ... as opposed to leading from behind. "You People" are the reason why the US lags behind the top nations your so caught up in your politics that you don't realize other governments don't give a ...t about ideology they give a ...t about hwat's effective and being at the top. YOu know why China is kicking our axx in the green jobs market, because, they don't give a ...t about their government spending $30+ billion on it to fund companies, subsidize, and do research consequently leading to much much lower prices on their goods like for example solar panels. And you guys bytch about a company like solyndra getting $500 million in loans over several years and still not being able to compete, and us spending a total of $2.4 billion to subsidize our green economy companies, ain't ... squat compared to what other "Big Government" is spending in their nations.Actually, when the "...f ..." did we become an anti-government nation, I thought even since the beginning it was "Federal Government" vs "State Government (localized)" not some backwards axx idea that government was bad? In any vain welcome to the 21st century and if you can't adapt to the changing landscape you can be like every other great nation that has failed, refused to change with the times and became irrelevant.[/citation]
well. lets say this.
our (usa) government was bought and sold decades ago to lobbyists and corporations, and they stopped giving a damn about the people. its because of that, that many people became anti government, and that they question everything they do. the fact that they seam to help the rich and corporations more than the people is one of the sicker things i find.
the fact that the government is also run almost exclusively by the old, and people who grew up from 12 to when their hair goes grey constantly worrying about what others see them as, and barely living there lives is also another very concerning issue.
here, lets go to a more... hard to side with issue. pot
unless you have ever seen someones life improve due to pot used in cancer patients, or even just generally improving the lives of people, you have no say in the issue. some states have made it legal to have medicinal pot, but the federal government its still illegal.
ever watch an anti drug campaign, many of us realize we were lied to, and thats where many anti government people are born, realizing from early on, we are lied to, constantly.
[citation][nom]acadia11[/nom]Ummm .. your taxes don't pay for the poor, they actually, pay for old white people who won't die, considering that 30%+ of our annual budget goes to MM and SS, how is that the poor you are subsidizing? ASDF (things that cover welfare like the "federal lunch program") accounts for less than .5% of the annual federal budget and that's including what states spend. So, the idea that your tax dollars is subsidizing the poor is the greatest myth in American politics. Thank You , Mr. Reagan for creating that image. But since when did politics have to do with truth?[/citation]
with the old people, its more of the case that drugs can cost 1000+% more than they cost to manufacture and produce.
