Poor people usually have long commutes because they cannot afford to live close in. They can only afford outlying counties.

Ha!...Since when did Dems give a hot about poor or people in general.....I expect we'll get a few crumbs from the Government Revenue pockets WE supply.....bridge here and there with all the Political Grandstanding...then it's done.

progressive taxes are frequently the most regressive of all. The poor INEVITABLY get hurt, and hurt badly.

The middle to upper class do varying degrees of wincing but their lifestyles do not really change. For the poor, a tax like this will be the difference between eating and not eating every day.
