Triple the price and it just hurts the poor. Rich folk do not care what it costs.
You say this like it was a bad thing. The beloved sacred poor are coddled by everyone, paid for by the taxpayers, and live irresponsible life styles at the public's expense. Why are people poor? Because they do things that keep them poor - make repeated bad life style choices like squirting out children as fast as their reproductive systems can cycle, spending their mony on things like beer cigarettes and lotto tickets and above all not working all that much. Family income ON AVERAGE correlates to the number of hours worked in a week, with the lowest income families working 20 hours or less, middle income families working 40 hours, and higer income families working 80 or more hours a week. Let the "poor" pay.
