When the government calls something the "Affordable Care Act" the result (as we have seen) is not affordable care.  Was your rate of premium increases higher before or after the act.

The government names a bill with a catchy name but the bill typically does not live up to its name.

When it comes to Net Neutrality, do you really want the government involved in leveling the field?   

An analogy is the restaurant industry:
Customers are into the latest health craze and want salads.  The industry responds by offering a wide variety of salad dishes.  Prices of salad dishes adjust according to competition and consumer demand.  Suppliers grow more salad ingredients and the supply chain adjust to get the products to the restaurants in the quality and quantity needed.  In the end the customer gets what they want.  However, meat and soup producers aren't happy.  Instead of lowering prices or producing a product customers want, they complain to the government.

So now in steps the government to level the playing field and say we can't have people eating a lot of salads when there are other items like beef, fish, poultry, and soups available.  To level the playing field the government tells restaurants you cannot offer stand-alone salad items.  You can only offer salads with dishes like poultry, beef, fish, and soups.  Customers are then forced to pay for food they do not want.  Restaurants now have unhappy customers.

The customer is always better served in a free and open market.  Customer needs ebb and flow, its life.  Would you rather be told what you will eat or free to choose whatever you would like to eat and the market cater to you?
As for the internet, would you like to be told what you can browser, view, and read?  Or would you like the freedom to chose and have the market cater to you?

Just trying to give you some food for thought :-)

Great video blog!!!
Steem on,
