>>you know that I am pro "broadband to every room of the home", but.....being a libertarian, I can't get behind the government stimulus idea. If this is a legitimate market and the buying public really wants the services that broadband to the home can provide, then they will pay a fair price for it and it will be deployed for the right reasons. And the right reasons are that it makes the service providers money so that all of the vendors catering to the service providers can make money. I know that I am in the minority on this one....I had this discussion a couple of months ago on Boplicity's thread. I just think that artificial stimulation will can cause bubbles and such and in the long run, can be very unhealthy for our economy<< Until we get to the point where we can eliminate "corporate" earnings tax, which is simply yet another layer of tax on shareholders AND consumers, I'm for incentives. I've been suggesting for at least 6 months that we need some type of investment tax credit to help spur capital spending. But I would like to see it across the board, not limited to specific industries. Otherwise we just create another trough for the politicians to feed from.
