Government Scam?
Why?  The U.S. Department of Commerce is funded by our tax dollars.  Why are
they charging a subscription of $200.00 per year or $75.00 per quarter to access
information in their "
Stat-USA"Website?  Shouldn't this information be free?  Isn't this
a form of double taxation?  I can understand a charge for information that is not
available and is a special request that requires the extra work of a government analyst
to obtain for me.  However, if the information is already available, than how is it right
that we are charged an extra fee?
