Net neutrality is a tax scheme

Now the intent behind net neutrality becomes clearer. It's a tax scheme. According to FCC Commissioner Mike O'Reilly, speaking at a Washington seminar on net neutrality, the law requires telecommunications companies to pay into the FCC’s “Universal Service Fund” and would likely require the same of Internet companies. But O'Reilly says history clearly shows that the fees would quickly be passed on to customers, just like they are now on monthly phone bills.
Whatever happened to the constitutional provision that all revenue laws begin in the House? It was ceded to agencies such as the FCC years ago. Congress mandated groups that could be taxed and agencies enhance their revenue by expanding the groups until every consumer is paying a fee for the privilege to use a phone or to access the internet. The FCC evidently thinks the country need more Obamaphones. Why does the FCC think it can get away with this? They think as Jonathan Gruber does. Americans are stupid. More.
