fare hikes tax hikes. taxing fare hikes? more like unfair hikes.

Basically what this means is the the people running these organizations can't do their jobs properly.  So, they get to go "oops, we fucked up.  But that's okay we'll just charge more and give less."  

I am going to start imposing these policies in my every day life and employment.  We'll see how far I get.

Imagine being able to walk into your employers office and say "I'm sorry I really created a financial mess for myself and I can't get ahead.  I just couldn't budget myself properly.  I'm behind on my rent, my cable got shut off and my credit card debt is out of control.  So here's what's got to happen.  You're going to start paying me 23% more and I'm going to have to cut back my hours here so I can start straightening this mess out."  This would of course occur when the company was really short staffed and short on revenue.

I don't mind paying taxes.  They are necessary.  If I was making over 250k annually I wouldn't mind doing my part and paying "higher" taxes.  But don't go trying to tax everything you can think of because you can't do your job and balance a budget.
