No... This shouldn't just be for poor people. The FCC has an amazing amount of power... And they are using this power to shut down a spectrum that people have relied on for years - To use to watch TV (and pay for TVs that use this spectrum).
The government is going to get a huge windfall when they resell this spectrum. This windfall is, in part, due to the fact that there are whole lot of people that will suddenly own an obsolete piece of equipment.
Why shouldn't anyone with an obsolete TV be able to get part of that windfall?!?
Heck, if you end up going out and buying a converter without the coupon, then you just paid a tax... You ended up being a casualty of the windfall.
I'm getting a little tired of people thinking that these coupins are payed for by a tax everyone else ends up footing. Not so.
So please explain why only poor people should be able to partake in this government windfall?
