Here's the question. What happens when fuel becomes too expensive to subsidize a suburban existence? What happens when the family cannot afford to operate a vehicle to transport them to work centers or retail centers? What happens when commerce cannot sustain the transport of commerce goods?When you lose the suburbs, you lose the upper middle class, the large percentage of people who own property wealth. And that group is largely your technical professionals. Society, by that nature, will have to change. I don't think that change will be in a good way.
Here we go again: can you please tell me what percentage of the personal income tax paid in the US is paid by the top 1% of earners? Or do you know something about Warren Buffet's tax situation specifically?
Daddy buys him an education and he thinks he is a genius on American work ethic. You lost me at owning 20+ apartment buildings. Heck you lost 99.9% of the people who even read your posting. Go back to the Ukraine where they work hard 60+ hours for their money.
