    Well wouldn’t it more likely be foreign drivers that don’t speak any English or fluent enough English?

    There was another bill and I believe that one passed separate from the first one that was introduced

    No facts, no sources quoted in that video. Just ignorance.

    $ wise, yes, Elon Musk pays more in taxes than you do.

    % wise, no, you pay a higher percentage of your money in taxes than Musk does. Which is kinda my point. If "the rich" paid what they should pay, rather than have this 20% loophole, you could lower the taxes on the lower classes to make more disposable income.

    Lets say as an example, that Musk pays 20 million in taxes this year. Thats 20 million at 20%. Well, he SHOULD pay (by income tax rate) 37 million. So if you project that to "the 1%" and basically double their taxes you could effectively ELIMINATE ALL TAXES on people under 20k a year and not lose a nickle of tax revenue.

    So who is going to help trucking more as far as increasing truckloads of goods, Musk and his 17 million or a whole bunch of people (roughly 3400) with an extra 5k each? And that is just ONE of the 1%... There are over 22 million millionaires in the US... Half of the "top 1%" make over a million a year.

    So I would dispute your claim that I am generally wrong.

    I don't have too much of a problem with that. As long as they have either written passenger authority or legal CDLs for those other people and proof that they are employed by that company. And, of course, seat belts or other legal restraints for all of them for their own safety.
     
    ElmerFudpucker Thanks this.
