Further proof that we're a bunch of dumb retards (probably a more appropriate word should go here).Can we really not stand up to these companies? Are we really going to let them roll over us like this? We must be the laughing stock of the world. Look at how much we're paying for SMS messaging at AT&T. This isn't much different from the rest of the cell phone companies. It is insane.
On top of that, I get to pay for SMS Spam? I don't use SMS messaging if at all possible and neither does my wife. I've had a number of instances where SMS messages obviously not for either of us yet I get the pleasure of paying for it on our bill. Just the shear fact that we have to pay for incoming messages and incoming calls defies comprehension. Particularly with regards to the SMS messages is it so incomprehensible since the cost to the carrier is so low.
Now you might say I should block unauthorized numbers. Well, Verizon is kind enough to allow me to do that so I don't get charged $.20 a pop but only if I sign up for the control/security plan for $4.99/month. I'm being fleeced. Fortunately, I won't be with Verizon much longer on this phone.
Text messaging and cell phone costs are ridiculous. Internet access is expensive and starting to be limited. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac go belly up and have to be bailed out. Most of our debt is owned by foreign countries. The list goes on and on.
And the best one of them all, we have the absolute worst election system in the whole world. (excluding fixed elections by "dictators" of course...) When will this whole process be fixed?
When will we take a stand?

Let's not forget gas prices that rocket to five bucks because some companies think they can get away with it in all the hurricane confusion.
We're not just being fleeced. We're being subjugated. You could stand up to fleecing. But these gouges come in areas that are critical to modern society. It's not really possible to hold down a modern job without a cell phone and a gas tank.
It's as though the cost of water were doubling and tripling. And you can't point any fingers anywhere other than our government, letting this happen. And, as a result, yeah, you're 100% right. It's the system by which these people obtain and keep power. The corporations own that too, and it's got to be stopped.
