Hey Wags,
When i was young and hungry I drove and dispatched for a 110 cab fleet (Town :gears:Taxi) in Boston. It for sure teaches you a slice of life you'll never get anywhere else.

Driving a cab these days can be dangerous. Also can be dangerous riding in one. I felt pretty safe in NYC though.

True that, you never know what's next. Not for the faint hearted, but it sure beats working for a living.

More power to those who represent the interests of the wealthy, Mikey.
Have you ever gotten a job where you pay check comes from poor person? Didn't think so.
Interesting. You feel the wealthy are oppressed and in need of more representation? Are the poor over-represented?
Question: have the tax rates for the wealthy gone up or down overall over the past 50 years?
If the people who write our paychecks had their way, they wouldn't pay us. If we had our way, the profits would be equally split among all employees. Is either extreme justifiable?
