Should President Obama impose an Internet tax based on usage?

Question

People that don't use the Internet would only be billed $20-50 per month whereas people that use it heavily daily to download movies, music, software or fore web surfing purposes (YouTube, FaceBook, Google, etc.) would be assessed $400-500 extra per month.  The extra revenue would allow for redistribution of wealth to be implemented and provide for the less fortunate (both in America and throughout the world) to have free computers and Internet access.

It's not the governments job to regulate or charge what goes on over a PRIVATE network.  The ISP's will take care of that.

No he shouldn't,Are you forgetting approximately botnets? perhaps your no longer so pc literate to realize in simple terms precisely what those in fact are. the minute they attempt this action and the white homestead would be getting 900 numbers to be billed there.
