it is a burden on people who are already hurting. How about public transportation, will there be an increase to ride the bus when one cannot even afford an auto?

The upper class and corporations need to pay, while we've already paid our share, they have been accumulating even more then sitting on it or shipping it overseas. It's their turn to pay, they've had years to acquire while we've seen our decent jobs go away and our salaries have deteriorated. Oh, and some of us now have 401ks that are almost worthless. I'd say they've almost drank the well dry-time to pay up.
