I just love it when New Yokers tell me that gasoline needs higher taxes. When I tell them that would hurt too many people they say you can just ride the subway or take a cab or even a bus. When i query them about those of us without those tools, they just think I am dumb for not living in New York.
What do you expect from sheeple that pay 8$ a pack for cigarettes?
You might suggest to them that we place insane taxes only on gas sold within city limits, or along mass transit routes. lol
It just feels like transportation communism to me. Ride with all the other sheep, single file through the ticket lines, please. You also have the freedom of private transportation, but we're gonna tax your pants off if you do.
I think they are dumb for living IN NYC. Someone should paint a giant bullseye on it for the terrorists. I may have to drive more but a lot of other stuff is a lot cheaper. I know farmers who haul truckloads of fresh produce to NYC because they can get so much more for it there that it's worth the time and expense. Also, if there is another attack, I highly doubt it will be where I live.
