Taxi cab confessions
September 4th, 2008
This past weekend I got to see free-market principles in action. Well…to be honest it might have been through buzzed, happy eyes but it was witnessed never the less! It went something like this:
Me: “So…how has driving been since they added that surcharge?”
Driver: “Awful! All it did is cut into my tip. I never see any of it. If the city or union really wanted to help me out they make the rides cost less. That way I wouldn’t spend half my day driving around hoping to pick up people. It’s just gotten too expensive.”
Me: “So you are saying the unions are hurting you?”
Driver: “Yeah! Trust me don’t get a job like this one. You find yourself a nice sugar daddy to take care of you.”
Not made up.

You know, I am starting to believe that most cabbies are libertarians because they always rant about how evil the government and unions are.
