I would be fine with that if I didn't pay for things like urban school districts or the million other things that rural taxpayers are forced to subsidize.
If inner city taxpayers were forced to pay the true cost of their public schools and infrastructure they would be taxed close to 100%. It is because of subsidies by suburban and rural taxpayers that the cities get the best of the best.
And the fact that we subsidize and support urban America so much pretty much means that we need to get something in return. Forcing buildout of broadband services is really a small price to pay. |

| How are you subsidizing things like urban school districts or anything else? School districts are funded by the property taxes of the people in that particular district. If your property taxes are being used to fund the school district of an "inner city" then you aren't as rural as you think you are. Furthermore, I've already stated I do not support subsidies OF ANY KIND for anybody for anything. |
