Nice gesture, bad law

The USF debacle is a typical example of what happens when you try to merge social policy and tax law. One can argue whether the idea behind USF is good or bad, but what cannot be denied is that once implemented it created yet another layer of bureaucracy and has the FCC trying to split hairs as to which service falls under and which do not.

I say eliminate it and if we decide we need to fund broadband create a one time project to wire them up, and have it self destruct when done.

Re: Nice gesture, bad law

Oh Tom, you just dont understand. You see, us hampshireites are a rare lot in this political world where both sides are basically socialists. The socialist just dont understand what true freedom is and thus would never eliminate thier security blanket. Remember the socialist mantra...
The government is our friend
The government should redistribute the wealth
The government should run our lives

If it is broken, then you need to throw more money at it to fix it (department of education?) and not look for way to eliminate bureaucracy.

Oh no, the entitlement, socialist mentality is strongly rooted and outcome is sadly predictable.

You could never eliminate this tax, just only increase it

My god man, what kind of reasoning is that!? What would be done with all the bureaucrats with nothing to do or the politicians with no one to contribute to their campaigns? Think man, think!
