[lbo-talk] "I Won't Pay" movement grips debt-ridden Greece

[Wojtek S]

[WS:]  I do not know about Greece, but what is so good about depriving
public transit in this country of its meager funds?  It just plays
into the fascist repug mantra of less transit fewer services and more
cars.  If they kicked banks, developers, car makers and other private
businesses in their pocket books - that would be a different story,
but New York Metro?

It is like a guy who is screwed up by his boss at work but since there
is not much he can do to fight back, he goes home and kicks the dog
instead.
