Reply #175: Blame center-right urban Dems, they use professional-class liberals as a "machine" to milk for money

That is why public transit fares are unreasonably high. (why encouraged unwashed wierdos to use transit? They don't want to return to the 1970s when more people were probably using the subway at lower fares.)

The latest innovation is HOT lanes, AKA lexus lanes -- $7 per 10 miles,
and takes away existing carpool lanes for use by the professional class
drivers who are sure to bitch and moan but nevertheless willing to pay
for a lane and decrease the overall passenger throughput by taking away
space and incentive for responsible carpooling (most of whom used to be
professionals, as I'm sure you know.

IS that bleeding the professional class... or is it a well-tuned machine
run by urban elite Dems who know that they can bleed the professional class
because there is no one else left in the party?
