Here you go frothing at the mouth again. Did you know that you, as an 
individual, can incorporate? If you take 5 min. to study the tax laws or 
talk to an accountant, you may find that you may be able to write off 
many of your out of pocket expenses for the work you do from your home 
office. I know pleny of folks who eke out a living on small incomes 
because they're legitimately using the system to their own advantage. 
You can be your own CEO and spend your own retirement fund prematurely. 
A corporation by itself is not evil incarnate -- I can't say the same 
for some overpaid, egotistical CEOs of large corps, however. But even 
that's close to generalizing that all corps. are run by corrupt executives.

We already do. Pix up a tax return pamphlet at your post office some 
time -- you can get them in PDF format, even.

<froth> The last time I checked, every government on the planet 
regulates frequency allocations by international convention so I don't 
see how that makes the FCC any more or less evil than any other 
regulatory agency. Perhaps you should write a letter to the ITU and the 
UN. Or better yet, take a time machine back to Paris of May 17, 1865 and 
throttle the 20 founding members of the Int'l Telegraph Union that were 
maliciously working to standardize telegraph communications. Then if 
they regroup, skip forward from there to terminate the parties 
responsible for taking away our sovereign rights to self-regulate our 
use of electromagnetic spectrum. Don't forget to wipe out all the other 
scientists responsible for telecom standards throughout the rest of the 
20th century, esp. the IEEE, the IETF, and any other acronymically 
challenged group of geeks that followed in their footsteps. I am certain 
without a doubt that every last one of them had hearts of pure, black 
coal that stoked the flames of their desire to control the world.
