| Message | We appreciate the fact that the Red Tories have finally realised that the poor need assistance. However, the best way to deal with public transport is to make it a moneyless economy - anyone can step on any public transport at any point. The slightly higher taxes that the richer citizens (SHOULD) pay is their additional contribution to things like public transport. |
