is the problem with classic liberalists, they rarely make attempts to help the poor out of their low-income status. Ideas like these are what make our country weaker.

They scraped everything and replaced them with GM buses fueled with Standard Oil on the Los Angeles streets. A short time after this they cut back on the bus services and forced the people to rely on their own private cars. These compani...
