A free people have the right of free movement. When such movement is controlled through taxes, they are no longer free.

Without breaking these laws, and forcing them to enforce them, there is no standing to roll them back. Lyft and the rest are creating that standing that I believe will eliminate many of the medallion and hail bus regulations that exist across the United States and restore a free market and restore free movement of people without taxation.

ROFLMAO.

You've obviously never read Uber's TOU.

To be clear, you are supporting the lawless usurpation of existing law by a syndicate of corporate suits and investors, not private citizenry, using drivers seeking an income as pawns and victimizing drivers, passengers and pedestrians with their irresponsible actions. You defend this with the emotional argument akin to some sort of 'tea party'. The argument is far from Conservative. To the contrary, it's to the benefit of libs/progs everywhere to draw this out. Standing? The lawless Uber & Lyft have destroyed their standing by not trying to change the laws. Rather, they broke them in the pursuit of profits.

I would never argue that the unique taxi services & municipal agreements in every city are a good thing. Ironically, they were born of liberal greed & control. But the fact is that NO ONE has tried to change even ONE city and now everyone defending Uber is promoting them as some 'lightning rod' for the people.

Fascinating how advertising roots in people's emotions, takes root, and pushes aside all logic & reasoning...
