A few days ago, I was driving around DC after work to make some more money via Uber. I make a decent living but; my wife only works part time, I have two kids, and now I have a family member in poor health, and now I’m spending a fortune on babysitters!
As I drove East on Pennsylvania Ave by the Capitol Building. It is one of the most recognizable buildings in the world. It is a beautiful building inside and out. Then I realized $4,000,000,000,000 a year pass in and out of that building. Is it any wonder why the metropolitan Washington DC area so rich? Property values are skyrocketing, there is no cheap housing, in fact there is a housing shortage. There are no empty storefronts, there are very few check cashing stores and payday loan stores. Even less pawn shops. Everyone drives new cars. Tesla is as common as Toyota now. Cops and firefighters can’t afford to live in the jurisdictions they swore to protect. And the jurisdiction don’t care as they can’t wait to put up housing developments with homes starting at one million dollars. But there are no factories, no ports, no financial markets, no movie studios, and no major amusement parks open year round.
Congress spends our tax money (the president submits a budget for approval). Its so obvious both chambers of Congress don’t care about you and me. They talk great on tv and radio, but its an act. Why do members of Congress drive foreign cars? Why do they spend more money than they collect? Why do foreign made goods come in with zero tariffs? Why are we pressing 1 for English? Why are we over run with illegal aliens? Why can’t the average person can’t complete a 1040 without help? Its because those people in that building!
Needless to say I drive around Capitol Hill for Uber because those people in that neighborhood have money to spend on Uber. I’m grateful, but I wish I still didn’t have to support everyone else first then my family.
