Some of us believe that granting a right to health care is the beginning of a slippery slope towards granting ‘rights’ to all sorts of things that will be subsidized and ‘regulated’ by the Feds. Well, we have to look no further than Spain for some firsthand evidence.
Spanish citizens will have a legal right from 2011 to be able to buy broadband internet of at least one megabyte per second at a regulated price wherever they live, the country’s industry minister said on Tuesday.
I wonder how long it will be before this slippery slope flows in the direction of ‘a right to an internet capable device?’ Government subsidized computers for everyone!
