Spending the taxes that were intended to build and repair roads, on mass transit and bike paths/lanes didn’t help either.
So the poor sap who has to drive a cab for a living is going to get dinged while the ultra-rich Democrat living in walkable Manhattan pays next to nothing. The idiots who believe that Obama cares about the average working class family are in for a rude awakening. He cares about the special interests who support him (select parts of big business, unionsj, media and hollywood) and the welfare classes, who he can exploit to his benefit. Those who work for a living are going to get screwed from the guy making $20,000 per year to the guy making $2 million. Obama knows there’s not enough money taxing the so-called rich. A broad based consumption tax is the way to get money from everyone. As in Canada, they’ll give a rebate to the welfare class, but everyone else will pay.
