#1 I'm not worried the Big 3 and NBC have enough money to buy enough Congresscritters, along with being part of MinTruth for the White House, to get the ultimate protection they want. Decades and decades of a free ride on the American broadcast spectrum have built enough cash to take care of it. While mining and forestry firms have not only paid taxes, they've also had to pay significant royalty fees to use federal lands. Not the broadcast industry. Cause it's a burgeoning technological industry that needs protection (still)? There you go Donks, there's a place worthy of kicking in their 'fair share' taxes for using public property, not.

#2 A great point, P2K. Broadcasting, along with Hollywood, indeed should pay their fair share of taxes.

#3 The only taxes should be on things the state creates, such as copyrights, patents and land rights.
