AC is right. We all should have to pay for access to the internet in 5 minute chunks, with 50% of the fee going to RIAA/MPAA since MOST LIKELY half of our time online is spent stealing their property.
That I would expect from a right-wing police state like we have under President George W. Bush.
WHY OH WHY COULDN'T WE ELECT A GOOD "FOR THE PEOPLE" LIBERAL PRESIDENT!??? WHYYYYYYY?????
Manufacturing and tech support jobs went overseas as a result of our SUCCESS, which caused our average wages to far exceed those of some other countries.
If you want those jobs to come back, the only way that will happen is when the USA is a third world country. Your beloved President is well on his way to making that happen.
Once again I must offer my services as Benevolent Dictator. You won't need to vote any more, I think everyone's a moron, so you won't have to worry about my "party affiliation", and I'll get rid of all the excesses in our current system of government. Oh yes, and free ice cream for everyone!

how about a tax on telecommuters?
Don't buy enough products (thus paying sales tax)? WE MUST PUNISH YOU.
