[governance] Hmmmm... Google: "Internet Freedom!"... (from taxes?

[michael gurstein]

Hmmm.. If the relationship between taxes and regulation really needs to be spelled out

 

Reaganomics <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reaganomics> 

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Reagan gives a televised address from the Oval Office, outlining his plan for tax reductions in July 1981

 

Reaganomics (play /reɪɡəˈnɒmɪks/; (a portmanteau of Reagan and economics attributed to Paul Harvey)[1] refers to the economic policies promoted by U.S. President Ronald Reagan during the 1980s. These policies are commonly associated with supply-side economics, often pejoratively referred to as trickle-down economics.

 

The four pillars of Reagan's economic policy were to reduce the growth of government spending, reduce the federal income tax and capital gains tax, reduce government regulation, and control the money supply in order to reduce inflation.[2]

Of course the tax dispute is not with the telecom regulators of those countries and would continue regardless of the outcome in the WCIT, so you will forgive me if I don't quite get the connection

It was a similar case with "Freedom of the seas", before international 
regulation...
