The poor often ride bikes because that is all they can afford because of all the taxes and government mandates on cars. I remember I rode a bike but could not wait until I could drive.<br /><br />Grace and peace.Pumicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05226427953642942426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7774578704070563428.post-17502730958912055562017-07-23T07:04:12.497-07:002017-07-23T07:04:12.497-07:00They seem to believe in zero sum economics where n...They seem to believe in zero sum economics where no one can make a dollar without someone else losing it. The people that built our culture believed differently. Real capitalists realize that you can't make money on a product unless you employees can afford to buy it. Henry Ford is an example. Before him only the rich had cars, afterward every teenager.<br /><br />Grace and peace.Pumicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05226427953642942426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7774578704070563428.post-29765377260669473412017-07-22T16:42:11.918-07:002017-07-22T16:42:11.918-07:00Actually, it gripes me that bicyclists DON'T p...Actually, it gripes me that bicyclists DON'T pay road taxes of some sort. They get in the way of other traffic. They pretend that traffic laws don't apply to them, they are rude and inconsiderate and create MANY dangerous situations for others AND themselves. Of course, I'm talking mainly about what I call "spandex bikers," as poor folks generally don't cause any problems (except for their kids).When my dad was a kid, they had to pass a test on bicycle safety to get a bike license to be on the highway.

As my mom used to say, "we are rich in the things that count", but not necessarily wealthy.
