In the Wall Street reform bill two items have been slipped in covertly. One of them gives the FTC control over the internet. The other gives them the power to make their own laws over herbal drug manufacturers. They failed to grant the FCC this power over the internet last month, so now they are trying to move it to another agency. The powers granted in the bill will allow the FTC to regulate how all business is transacted on the web. They can also levy fines and fees against anyone they deem to be "harming consumers". So, if they don't like what you are selling or saying, they can fine you out of existance.
They have already done this with the viatmin companies. Now with this bill they will be granted even more power to harass and fine companies. And the best part? It doesn't go to court. It goes to an internal FTC court composed of FTC employees. Now that's fair isn't it? NOT!!!
The only thing for sure about this sneaky legislation is that it will bring big brother into your home to watch what you purchase or look at. Then it will use it's power to reward the faithful and punish the free thinkers. These are frightening times we live in.
