Ah, but what about the newly found "free speech" rights of corporations? You aren't allowed to limit their "speech" (DOLLARS) now according to most of the fine folks over at the supreme court.
Of course, OURS will then be drowned out by their deep pockets full of "speech"............ Bob- -----Original Message----- From: wireless-boun...@wispa.org [mailto:wireless-boun...@wispa.org] On Behalf Of Jack Unger Sent: Thursday, February 04, 2010 5:48 PM To: WISPA General List Subject: Re: [WISPA] Common Carrier or what: The FCC's role in regulation of net-neutrality Brad, There is really only one way to get a smaller government without throwing society into total disarray. That method is to have a smaller country, in other words, a lower level of population. With an exploding population there is just no way that I can see to get a smaller government. If only reclaiming our country for working people was as easy as voting the incumbents out that would be GREAT but unfortunately it's not that simple. Voting the incumbents out won't result in government doing a better job for working people because the real influence is the big-corporation money that finances the election campaigns for each new crop of political nominees. The big-money lobbyists remain when each old group of politicians is voted out so the big-money corporation's power actually becomes greater and greater as time goes on. The solution that I propose is equal public financing for ALL political campaigns. Each nominee (and incumbent) would receive an equal number of taxpayer dollars to run their campaign. This will help ALL candidates remember who they are supposed to be working for (working-class taxpayers, not large corporations). As to regaining some influence for working people with regard to banks, I'd recommend that everyone put their money in a local credit union or small local community bank. My money has been kept in a local community credit union for over 20 years and I feel good about it being there. It's contributing to the community instead of being used in an irresponsible fashion and/or used against the best interests of the community.
