Chicago parking meters on NPR. A good preview of the world the GOP wants for us.
   
All Things Considered had a short article about people stealing parking meters to protest the high prices.
http://www.npr.org/player/v2/mediaPlayer.html?action=1&...

The parking meters were privatized and prices shot up as a result.
Parking in the city is now $4.25 an hour. Prices will go up in January and will quadruple by 2013.

This is the world Republicans want for America.
They want all services to be privatized and corporations allowed to gouge customers all they want.
If you can't afford the overpriced service, tough.
If you and your family starve and die as a result, it's your own fault, not the GOP or the rich corporation's.
Get a high paying job, you bum!

Why the hell any sane person would want this for themselves is beyond me.
Must be that a lot of Americans just aren't that sane.

Hey DUmmie, the laws in Shitcago are the result of liberal policies. The city needs those fees to fund the types of programs you DUmmies love.

1. I think some people just don't put two and two together and see how bad
   
they are screwing themselves.

It takes a special genius like yours to add 2 + 2  and get Arugula.

5. Except that this was done by a Democrat. Daley.

It's probably one of the reasons why he isn't running for re-election. It's EXTREMELY unpopular. It was done in an anti-democratic manner with no public support.

The theft of these parking meters is a fully justified act of civil disobedience. It's a truer expression of democracy than what Daley did when he put them in. I hope it spreads.

Kind of like the way the DemonRats passed HCR?

Damn, these DUmmies are so stooooopid.  They find something messed up in a liberal ruined city and then try and blame conservatives.  :censored:  :mental:

So the GOP has taken over the Chicago political machine.

That is news, isn't it.

Amazing how we've done that.  A Democrat mayor, and 49 out of the 50 Aldermen on the City Council are Democrats.

Ralph and I have been attending the monthly VRWC meetings out in Will County. I can't believe that our diabolical takeover of Chicago was as easy as getting those parking meters installed.  My cut from the profits is funding my retirement account quite nicely. Those liberals have no idea how powerful we are.

I wonder how much of a kickback Daily is getting for these parking fees?

BINGO!
Hence bringing down the "carbon footprint" by people taking the public transportation as opposed to everyone driving their cars/trucks/SUV's. After all,....I thought the DUmmies/libs/progressives are all about the "green" America?! Funny how when the situation affects them directly, they don't want it. That's the DUmmie behavior. :mental:
