This has been the GOP's "starve-the-beast" scheme for nearly 50 years. Meanwhile, millions suffer and struggle to get ahead as the rich get richer. See the problem here?

I mean: I would agree that very often the left is sloppy in its accusations. And I know that’s your point here, so probably we don’t disagree much. I just think that, very specifically, blaming billionaires for everything comes closer to the truth than any other random accusation one could make.

This is the thing: I do actually think it is true, in a very real sense, that billionaires are to blame for traffic. To wit: car culture was pushed on the US, at the cost of the dismantling and defunding of the public transit system, by corporate interests aimed at shareholder value. That is true.

Yes, actually, I would blame certain billionaires for traffic. ncrc.org/new-york-tim... They did it in my hometown of Columbus too. They've done it in dozens of cities.
