Planes, Trains and Automobiles

"We subsidize planes, we subsidize trains. Why not subsidize people?"

I want universal health care and universal education right now.


"Obama boosts Amtrak funding; Northeast to get half of $1.3 billion grant" by Susan Milligan, Globe Staff | March 14, 2009

WASHINGTON - .... All national train systems receive financial help from the government, and that air travel and highways receive much higher subsidies - covering road construction and airport maintenance, for instance."

Yeah, no kidding: Look What Made the State Stimulus Wish List

The only ones who don't receive help from the government is the people who foot the bill for the corporate giveaways -- YOU, the TAXPAYERS!!!

And WHY we paying a GAS TAX for ROADS we ALREADY PAID FOR?
