Re: Government controlled, provided Broadband??? There is no such thing as a "free market." Markets are setup by governments, to trade goods using the currency of the realm. Without controls for consumer protection, many corporations would, and do run roughshod among the people.
The airwaves which carry your cell service belong to WE THE PEOPLE. The government should be sure that they are properly regulated, so that, for instance, transmitters do not "step on" other, competitor's frequencies.
Your argument that Social Security is bankrupt, and Mexico is a one way freeway, are directly related to the politicians who have people brainwashed into believing that government can do no good. They are out to prove it, so that they can get more kickbacks from big business. Social Security is bankrupt because Reagan stole from the lock box, and so has Bush. These two combined have run up more debt than any other presidents. Debt that has been given, in the form of tax cuts to big business, and the ultra rich. It's about time that these entities started paying their fair share again, and America can prosper, like it did before Reagan.
The Mexican border is a "one way freeway" because there are fewer and fewer unions. One of the things that unions have done in the past, is to make darn sure that their workers are able to work in the US legally.
If we stopped giving the ultra rich a free ride, maybe we could have mandates for telecom companies to upgrade their services, under the law. The law made by WE THE PEOPLE.
Your "Free Enterprise" system is far from free. It's only free for the ultra rich, who want to make the US a country of the ultra rich, and the hyper poor. |
