As even the liberal New York Times reported, NYC school buses kids cost almost $7,000 a year for each bus passenger. Comparatively, Los Angeles spends $3,200, Chicago $5,000, and Miami $1,000. The unions strike offended many New Yorkers, reeking of entitlement. In what sane world is pricing not competitive and why would anyone think they have the right to be guaranteed work?
Taxes in New York City are already absurdly out of control. As Mayor Bloomberg explained when refusing to meet the drivers The terms of the bid are clearly only price, and weve got to get the best price for the city. We have an obligation to save the taxpayers money. How could any sane person possibly object to that statement? In the greatest capitalist city in America how can anyone believe free-market economics to be wrong?
...
Decent, hard working Americans will insist and demand that prices are competitive and fair, and ensure that everyone is made aware that job protection is a non-capitalist concept. This union wants to take advantage of New Yorkers and we wont stand it.
Thank you Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
