Why pay for channels I dont want?
The way Comcast is set up now, I'm forced to buy channels I don't want. Why should I have to do this? The same goes for cell phone plans. Why do I have to buy minutes I don't want. Why can't I pay just for the minutes I actually use? I'm sick and tired of corporations forcing unwanted product down my throat just so they can get a few more of my hard earned bucks. It's all just a corporate scam to get as much of my money as possible. This is why government regulation is needed. Otherwise, corporate greed will cause corporations to veer towards the dark side and rip off consumers.
