It's like everyone is hellbent on not sharing, so they all pay through the nose for taxis instead.
I'm Canadian, and (to be quite honest) that's exactly what "the American way" appears to be sometimes.
Many Americans also seem okay with things like skyrocketing healthcare costs because the alternative of a tax-funded, single-payer system would mean that their deadbeat neighbor would be guaranteed the same basic inclusive coverage that they have. The same mentality seems to apply here - why would those that can pay be subsidizing those that can't?
