Makes sense. Fast internet improves productivity, and almost everyone uses it, so you might as well use taxation to make a massive investment in it and reap the rewards for decades. I consider it a vital resource like water, gas and electricity are. Oh, and I think they should never have been sold off by Thatcher either.
@Uncontrol: Correction: americans will never agree to more taxes for anything unless it pertains to killing people.
For some reason, we seem fine with carrying on two massively expensive wars and a similarly expensive drug war, none of which have accomplished anything.
@Mark: Correction; I don't ever remember reading a ballot item that read anything along the lines of "taxes increased to subsidize military spending while starting/retaliating/sustaining/ending a war".
If there was, I'm not sure I'd tick the 'No' box, either. If the boys are going to war, I don't want to see them going unprepared or ill equipped...
@Hbishop: The sheer amount of irony in your post is amazing. Please, tell us all how much of a "buffone" he is. Maybe you can also tell us how you done had it with tose stoopid socialist.
Totally. The internet is one of the most economically important pieces of infrastructure in any country.
It is used by students and adults to learn and communicate, and by service providers to deliver digital content. If everybody in the country has internet access, you can bet digital media providers are going to be pouring their investments in.
Interestingly enough, none of those things are guaranteed as rights in America. Some people still drill their own wells. Gas is definitely not available everywhere. Electricity comes pretty close, but it is not found everywhere either.
mark, you don't consider enabling a democratic government in a country previously ruled by horrible dictator who murdered many, many thousands of his own civilians accomplishing anything? saddam was put to death by his own country, he was an evil man. i bet most Iraqi's are thankful. and you don't know how many terrorist attacks our presence in afghanistan combined with an intense focus of gathering intel has prevented. i distinctly remember an incident in Britain where they arrested around 30 people who were planning another plane bombing type thing, planes which were headed to the US, i think.
nobody will probably read this, but whatever, i was just looking through old comments.
i don't understand, are you trying to say i'm gullible? well guess what, there was nothing wrong in what i said. just today on CNN they reported about a thwarted terrorist attack in Canada; they were planning to bomb Toronto. there is still work to be done, the terrorists aren't just going to stop.

A vital resource?
No you buffone, A vital resource is water, food and intelligence something socialist lack in any great abundance.

@maveric101
I have a limited supply of tiger-repelling rocks. Normally I sell them for $50; but for you, I'll make it $20. Interested?
