FCC To Probe AT&T, Verizon Wireless → Re: come on

When Obama was elected. He and his ideas are doing everything they can to punish successful people and businesses to redistribute the wealth to those who do not have the ability or desire to succeed.

Is this the politics forum? I didn't think so either...

The rich don't spread the wealth around. They just get richer. Thats why the middle class is going away. Middle class actually spend money. I doubt Verizon and att are working together. They are charging what the market will allow. Why, because they can and we will pay. Just like anybody in this world. You want to get as much money as you can for your services and consumers want to pay as less as they can. I think the monopoly is in the cell towers them selves. They should not be allowed to be owned by one company. It would help to have more competition if it did not cost an absurd amount of money to start a competitive company. I dont like bigger government but maybe a good solution would be to have the cell tower grid be owned by the government with a small fee to use to maintain it. That way there would be compition to drive down the prices.

That's exactly what the government should do. Use the access fees to maintain the network and upgrade it when next generation technology comes around. This drastically lowers the barrier of entry for cellular service competitors.

Then who is buying those $100,000+ cars, and 1,000,000+ dollar houses. Guess who builds those houses and makes those cars... the middle class.

You hear stories all the time about people like Britney Spears spending a few hundred thousand in one afternoon just shopping at stores, and throwing parties. Don't tell me the rich don't spend money.

The rich will spend 50% of their income and pocket away the rest, because they don't need to spend anymore.

The poor spend all their money just to survive, and the middle class spend almost all their money so that they can have some luxuries.

The rich invest their money. No one just pockets it and sits on it. Investments fuel new business.
