DEAR EDITOR:
Regarding your front-page article, “VTA on the brink of bankruptcy,” wrong.
VTA was conceived insolvent, born bankrupt, and, as I have repeatedly said for many years now, kept going by massive blood transfusions from taxpayers.
Public-sector transport yields the best that socialism can provide a society. England tried it for more than 40 years after WWII, and finally woke-up and privatized their transport during Lady Thatcher’s Administration. Other countries have also joined the world-wide “privatization revolution,” denationalizing their publicly-owned industries like transport during the past 25 years. Until America wakes up, throws-off Marxist-Leninist publicly-owned transport, we will continue to slide into communism, damning future generations to suffering.
Not a single elderly, disabled or disadvantaged person gets transit service today in the USSR. With all its faults, private-sector transportation, like private-sector industries of all kinds, is far superior to what the Politico-Transit Alliance has created. What will we nationalize next?
