An environmental group called the Surface Transportation Policy Project (STPP), suggest that low-income urbanites ride bikes and use public transportation (buses) to get to work and around town instead of buying a car. This group is typical of liberal politicians who work daily to keep the poor, poor and dependant on government. This policy comes from the mind of Democratic thinking. If a republican had suggested this, the public would be up in arms claiming racism against the poor, mainly Blacks.

A summary of the report states:

"The STPP claims that sprawl reduces home ownership. This hypothesized relationship between cars and houses leads the experts at the STPP to urge the "working poor" to reject auto ownership and turn to public transportation or bicycles so that they can afford to become homeowners. The STPP also recommends that government spend more on public transportation and bicycles to give the poor more transportation choices.

Cars are apparently acceptable for the better off, and the STPP acknowledges that "For middle- and upper-income families, the cost of transportation is taken for granted." The poor, however, are different: "But for the poorest American families the high cost of owning and maintaining a car may put homeownership out of reach."

Support of such an organization and its ideas would be contributing to the oppression of low-income people and give rise to the new politically correct ideologies of the far left political party. No Black person in their right mind should allow these types of thinking invade their minds by agreeing, but they should fight organizations of such to abolish their entire existence.
