Wasn't Harry the one sounding off about how terrific the people in Denmark,
Norway, and the Netherlands have it?
Ever visited any of the above countries? They've invested in reliable
transit systems that allow most citizens to do without cars.
Cars are used for groceries and vacations.
In those countries, gas prices are almost triple the price per gallon that
we pay here. I guess that's how they pay for their "free" social services
over there.
No, they have progressive tax structures, just like here.
How'd you like to fill up your SUV and the bill comes $150?
That's why we have SUVs and they have reasonably-sized autos.
How'd you like it if it cost you $1 for every 3 miles you drove? And you
weren't in a boat?
You're projecting the American lifestyle on folks who don't live the
same way.
