irrational thinking on YOUR part, throwing out random numbers to justify YOUR paternalistic, arrogant argument.

"working middle class" have many non essentials that they manage to pay for such as eating out, cable TV, and fitness club memberships. and that's in addition to what they NEED, like trucks to get to work sites and carry equipment, cars to transport at all hours for all shifts like graveyards and overtime in places your precious train will never service. "if" "about" and "likely" are just stabs in the dark you use in absence of any facts.

seems any comment that doesn't fit into your narrative to prop up this wasteful and unfair project is wrong, faulty and shameful? 

it's ok, you and Roy Kamisato can sob on each others shoulders knowing most dont agree with you.
