Most smaller counties cannot afford public transportation any longer. Liberals would like to:<br />a) raise taxes so that public transportation that is not economically viable will still run; and<br />b) Shuffle everyone into big cities so we are not "wasting" so much gas and so we can be easier controlled<br />3. The poorest of the poor are being bought off with government money. I've read that 51% of people did not pay income tax in 2009! The government is happy to ride on the backs of middle class people, lower and upper.Barb the Evil Geniushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04635449477605703171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1279878132315954446.post-38925793929952673062011-05-05T15:00:37.018-04:002011-05-05T15:00:37.018-04:00Yesterday we filled up both of our cars with gas u...Yesterday we filled up both of our cars with gas using a coupon-we both had about 1/4 tank of gas left and the bill was over $100. We live 7 miles from the doctor, bank, grocery etc. There is no "city bus" here. We have tried to combine trips as much as possible even when it would be much easier to not go as a whole family.<br />If this tax does pass, there will be many more people that won't be able to afford to get to their jobs-especially part time jobs (and there are people that have 3-4 part time jobs because they can't get full time) and will need to go on welfare.<br />I get so upset that the government forgets there really are people that don't live in big cities. I wish a requirement for being president would be to drive from NY to CA-to drive yourself and take your family. Riding a bus driven by someone else or flying doesn't count. They need to see how the rest of the USA lives.Ewehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09049392222474704158noreply@blogger.com
