Taxation By Other Means: the Democrat's Go-To Tactic

New York politicians say Comcast shouldn’t be allowed to buy Time Warner Cable unless it provides free Internet service to all residents of public housing.  --ArsTechnica quoted at MoonBattery

Can't think of any others?  How about hospitalization-costs?  Utility bills?  "ObozoPhones"?  Birth control?

The objective is to provide Free Stuff to a majority.  That means either raise taxes OR hide the costs elsewhere.  Hiding the cost is (obviously) preferable.

So your taxes won't go up.  But your cost of living will--and the Socialists will get elected.
