Generally, taxis are all subsidized with government controls on competition. I have lived in many cities and driven a cab in a couple of them, and never saw a free market in transportation, until Uber and Lyft. So I get that.
However, what really fascinated me about this Tea Party website was all the links to dirty pictures.
Here's a funny thing about Abrahamic morality. They condemn sex (just for instance) and yet are attracted to it. They fall to the temptation of evil. Can you imagine John Galt sneaking a peek at a magazine called "Accidental Altruism"?
Moreover, of all the things that they could link to for revenue - recipes, vacations - they offer half a dozen "dirty pictures." It says a lot about the intellectual bankruptcy of the Tea Party.
The title reveals the article is geared toward morbid titillation. That explains the apparent disconnect between the policy viewpoint and the lurid pics and links. The policy elements are just a venue for morbid excitement. .
The owners of those sites put them there. They set up the link. If you click on it, the site gets money. It is deliberate. It is not something that the dirty picture sites put on hapless websites. You do not see them here, do you?
The hypocrisy of the Tea Party has been discussed here often. It has some supporters here. I am not one of them.
