Now they CAN give to that representatives superpac any amount as it's not directly to that candidate. Can someone post the senators and house members that voted in the ACA BEFORE reading the actual bill? I bet it's exactly the opposite. Now Netflix can actually pay for all the pipe they are using under the guise of net neutrality. They literally made a billion dollar business using other's groundwork, wonder what they're thinking now.

You realize that the US tax payers subsidized all that internet backbone and those "pipes" that Netflix uses along with lots of other companies...
It's extremely naive to think the ISPs footed the bill themselves. In fact US tax payers paid them to install fiber which they never did...
This why they are required to allow other smaller ISPs the ability to use the same lines for example..
These companies were aloud to grow too big and too powerful where no compitition could ever get a foot hold, while being govt subsidized..
Even a company like Google fiber has to fight all kinds of federal bullshit to go into a new city because the big telecoms own these congressmen and have written the rules to stop compitition.
