How does charging me somewhere vaguely in the ballpark of $36.50 per year qualify as "no impact"?

And I'm just an individual. What about when I send to an email list and it goes to 100 people? Should Google Groups pay a dollar to send out those 100 emails? What about MailChimp, do they have pay $200 when they send out a newsletter to 20,000 people?

I'm also concerned about how this money will be collected and how, from a technical perspective, all emails will be monitored. Every SMTP server will now have to be registered with the central oversight organization? VPNs and rogue email installations will be the enemy or blocked from communicating with anyone "on the grid"?
