    We know you do not like any government interference and would prefer Teas to be its own independent country.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    I think...
    President Obama brought it up in 2014
    House Republicans introduced a draft bill with concessions- highlighting the words- no more regulations- that sounds shady to me- because the argument seems to be about the internet being used as a means to charge for ISP...they could deem a charge for accessing certain websites.

    Kinda like a cable provider- HBO vs Showtime- sign up for one of them and u get access to so many channels-

    In some instances this is what (may) be happening- Both parties May be bullshitting the public- with words of no more regulations, from Repubs & more freedom per Dems..

    But does the bill present actually say- you cant charge consumers to access certain webpages/links? You see that shit is called capitalism, why not allow these fat cats to get richer by making certain links accessible to those willing to pay?

    In other words the politicians are using shady words to convey what net neutrality is all about. It's being used as a political football IMO.

    Besides the FCC is one of those agencies that both parties love/hate when it appeases them. After all the people don’t vote for a leader of the FCC.

    For example-when the FCC established the fairness doctrine act 1949- in some regards to prevent monopolization- some businessmen who loathed it- began to fund politicians campaign who would vote to repeal it- it happened once in 1969 But the U.S. Supreme Court upheld (by a vote of 8-0) the constitutionality of the Fairness Doctrine.

    Then again in the 1980’s. Reagan appointed a dude named Mark Fowler, who piece by piece tore that shit apart. And today the airwaves are under a totally monopoly” mom & pop shops don’t own radio stations. Just a few, like Clear Channel-thanks to a president who selected someone to undo the shit.
    My point is: If Net neutrality makes it? And the people don’t like it? Then why cant the people elect a president who will tear that shit up-piece by piece like Reagan did?

    With the key here: Chip Pickering & Ed Markey introduced it One Repub & one Dem…sounds bipartisan to me..so who really is backing this shit up?

    It sounds sinister to me. The Internet should be left alone and government should go away.

    America already has net neutrality and the government already regulates the internet. Net neutrality just means that the telecom companies can't run a two or three speed internet and let established companies prevent new ones from entering the marketplace. If there hadn't been net neutrality when the internet first started you'd be getting your news and entertainment from yahoo and lycos would be your search engine.

    Here's former Daily Show Senior British correspondent John Oliver, who now has his own weekly Daily Show on HBO, explaining net neutrality.
