Internet is infrastructure. ISP companies get paid handsomely for a service that should an itemized line in our electric bill.
- zippergz 4y agoI have to pay for electricity and water, both of which are vastly more important than internet.
- blown_gasket 4y agoI do pay federal income taxes which of that 3% is for transportation. If I were to look at per month of my salary ~$40 goes to transportation. So yes, I broadly pay $40/month to use the streets.
- MrBuddyCasino 4y agoI don't understand your point. If it was "an itemized line in our electric bill", you'd presumably still pay for it? You also pay lot more than $40 a month to finance the infrastructure surrounding you, even though that is not were most of the money goes to (mostly social / medical / military, not infra).
