Re: Such a waste of time
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. |

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. |

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...... |

Gosh. I'll pretend to be surprised you're trying to weasel out on the corporate welfare issue and turn it into some froth-mouthed partisan game... |

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! |

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?

Another uncalled for insult.

Interesting comparison. More reflective of you than others.

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. |

Don't you think the individual communities should get to decide if it's a waste of THEIR money or not?! |

Please cite your resources for "the majority of people". I'd like to see national, non-push, polls or other objective measures to back your assertion. We've done polls in our community and due to the bad performance of the incumbents, we've found the vast majority support muni-efforts to increase telecommunications efforts. We are now working on a statistically valid survey to check out our polls which were taken randomly at street fairs, civic meetings, etc. Note, at the street fairs it was random, whoever walked by - so there was no cherry picking of respondants. I've provided the references for my information - provide yours.
waiting ..... |

I really think this is what the people want, imagine government not wasting more money. Not raising taxes for foolish pipedreams. If we all voted on this issue it would fail. No one in a sane state of mind wants bigger government. Seems every time some crap like this gets posted a few morons come ranting about "how dare the government not spend more tax dollars" or " please I need the government to choose my ISP for me, I am to stupid to make a choice". Sessions is doing the will of the people, the majority of people do not want muni ran services.
Pure hyperbole. |
