well, if we're afraid of our governments then we're all screwed. I know some already think this. But at least we're supposed to be able to affect government policy. you cant affect a private company's policy especially if they are is a monopoly situation. > And being recipients of tax money.

Its how we pay for things around us. I know this is a controversial issue for many (including Wesley Snipes) By letting the water company and electric company pay lower taxes, they can have more to invest in their infrastructure. Same could be said for broadband providers if we, as a people, agreed these were important services for the running of society. Since everyone is paying to access these services, there is huge guaranteed profits to be reaped.
