  The link says: > Playing the “equity” card as an objection to pricing the roads actually turns out to be a way to advance the interests not of the poor, but of those who benefit already from the wealth of subsidies to car ownership. We seem to be perfectly fine with all kinds of inequity in our transportation finance system, so long as it benefits wealthier car owners. I am not wealthy by any means, don't own a car, house, stocks etc. I walk or take the bus. So that's not me they are talking about. But I know several friends and family who are nurses, Uber drivers, farmers, delivery people etc. They are going to be impacted by this the most. Your link tries to claim that just because we have already horrible inequities, we shouldn't complain. That's just a silly nihilistic way of looking at things.
