Again, all people don't pay the same amount of taxes. A tax can have plenty of factors that determine its size, such as income, geographical location and even the speed of their Internet and if they have Internet at all. So stop keep bringing that argument about poor people paying for rich people's entertainment.
Americans watch 4 hours of TV in average every day. Just set them up with a new type of set-top-box that costs less than $100, and those people can be getting more than half of those 4 hours of daily videos from the Internet cause they will quickly figure out that recommended and personalized Internet on-demand video is much better than random ad-supported crap on regular TV broadcast monopolies. How do you get to finance all these Internet videos, again this is going to be mostly the tax system.
