    What? I daily drive a 45mpg Honda fit. It’s the size of a fucking golf cart. But I also tow and have 5 people in my family. I also am in a very high tax bracket. So …you’re wrong?

        In your ideal scenario, what am I to do? I drive 112 miles a day to commute. And my family needs a tow vehicle, I have 3 kids and a wife. I own a 7 passenger tow machine that often has a stroller occupying the 2 extra seats plus kid extras. I’ve reached the upper middle class tax bracket. I want a rail or bus system to take me to and from work. I want the choice to drive a 12mpg big ass fuck all shitty truck. But I want others to have the choice to take a 0 emissions train to their designated station with 0 emissions golf carts to take them to their jobs. I want the future. A utopia if you will. But I won’t force that. That’s unamerican. Americans need a choice.

          Why are you taking it personally? The problem is that the price paid at the pump doesn’t reflect the true cost.

            I’m not taking it personal in a negative way. I’m personally taking time to try to talk to you though.
