Re: Yeah but I like it

" Should the government subsidize "baby tapes" too so everyone has the opportunity to raise a child prodigy?"

You are comparing one wonderful thing with basic infrastructure that facilitates a great many things. The government doesn't subsidize every activity or application or service that takes place on the net, nor should it. This doesn't mean that the government shouldn't be making sure that basic infrastructure, that is an important part of modern economic life, gets to everyone, including those that the market has decided are not worth serving. The government has, in the past, seen that it has an important role in such infrastructure development, whether it be roads, universal electrification, etc.
