It is the legislatures job to make laws. It is NOT their job to make sure people have jobs or food. It is the legislature's job to make laws that are in the best interests of the electorate. Not sure how making it more difficult to provide technology to the electorate benefits the electorate. And, sorry, but the electorate is composed of the people that vote the legislators into office, not the lobbyists that line legislators' pockets. -tom When did I say that making it more difficult to provide technology to the electorate was a benefit to the electorate? And on that note, when did I say that the electorate was composed of lobbyists? Perhaps you should re-read what I wrote. I was commenting on some fool lamenting the fact that the legislature is making laws while there are people without jobs and food. I simply stated that it is not the legislarures job to provide those things. You said that "it is the legislatures job to make laws". You did not qualify it to say that it was their job to make good laws or laws that were good for the electorate. You simply left it at "just make laws". That implies that, in your view, by simply causing paper with rules and regulations on them to be printed, they have properly discharged their duties.

said by click_310 :said by nixen :Communcations of this tenor tend to be looked at as the rantings of a crank rather than a concerned, voting citizen. Thanks for pointing that out. This proves that once in office these people turn into humorless bastards.  Shhh no need to put ideas on the table for them  |

bbrat, you provided NOTHING, no links nothing but some gibberish about street fairs, like out of the blue the people going to street fairs represent a full slice of the peoples will. You must be insane. I have been to a street fair maybe 2 times, made me feel dirty like shopping at wal mart does. With that you are looking at a small population, the real issue is trust in the government to provide a service without it becoming a tax pit as every single social program has become. I fear you are to simple to understand the point, this link DOES apply to this issue.
Moving to the insults now. And just what are your qualifications again? How many polls have you overseen?
said by justncredible:» www.cato.org/dailys/01-31-02.htmlAt the most 34% trust the government when it comes to social programs. Muni ran ISP is a social program, your data is skewed by the wording and placement of the questions. Specious generalization.
said by justncredible:
I can say that without having read it, since I know how you nuts operate.
Another uncalled for insult.
said by justncredible:
Kinda like going to a gay parade and asking if being gay is normal.
Interesting comparison. More reflective of you than others.
said by justncredible:
There is no metrics in place to verify the success of any of the in place social programs, there is no data showing any good programs. Yet everyday I see in my local paper another tax payer social scam busted for stealing taxpayers money. Sessions is doing the right thing, less government is the right thing. No more taxmoneypits are needed, just plain common sense.
You're right. We should stop the handouts to multi-billion dollar corporations. Good thinking. |

| Still no links to your data???
I do agree "handouts" should not happen, but wait, what handouts, please show a link to a government handout. Do not try to convince me that tax breaks are handouts, they are not. The tax breaks Bush has made are effecting everyone, business has never been better. People have more money and new businesses are popping up like never before. The deficit is being paid down, 3 years ahead of the plan. Fiber is being laid, new technologies are coming fast to offer real free market competition. Ask why we do not have fiber already??? Under Clinton businesses were overtaxed and the money sent to the UN or france for UN votes. 8 years of pure destruction of this countries economy and it has taken a great leader such as Bush 5 years to even offer a glimmer of hope. You would throw away that hope for a pipe-dream of muni ran internet. Sacrifice the working mans money to support your wants, not the wants or needs of most people. So if I come off as insulting to you, fine, I see you as a sick person. Steal money from everyone to allow only a few to benefit. It is wrong to the core. Where I work most of the workers have just gotten .50 to 1.00$ raises, better believe we all want lower taxes on businesses, it is just common sense that says it is good for everyone. You commies lose we win! |

| well gee, i will duck the real issues.
since when is tax breaks corporate welfare? The same tax breaks that I see going to give employees big raises, those employees spend that money generating sales taxes, so what you call corporate welfare is the working mans paycheck. Tax breaks are not government handouts of money. Your unrealistic ideals of what business is seems to be very twisted. Your ill seek help...... |

| When you're done being predictably cliche, entertain me with your rationale at deriving "your unrealistic ideals of what business is seems to be very twisted. Your ill seek help" from my "We should stop the handouts to multi-billion dollar corporations". You've obviously shot your wad on the subject since all you're bringing to the table at this point are insults, insinuations, and exaggerations. Good job. |

It's all spin...if it were a Democrat, the liberal response would be "See how the democrats actively seek to reduce government programs! To protect private industry, to not waste tax payers money". Did anybody notice that the exclusion if only for "municipalities"? Any citizen, business person, investor etc. is welcome to start their own "company" and provide the services. Bla bla bla. |

Re: Have you voice heard!
To be consistent with his line of thinking you must use "municipalities" not nobody/anybody etc. the bill does not exclude citizens, businesses, investors. In being consistent with the bill, YOU CAN do exactly what you're proposing you couldn't with your variants of the bill. |
