Why do all the liberals hate Uber?
What's the deal over liberals like NYC mayor, etc. not wanting Uber in their cities? I thought it was a good way to introduce competition in taxi markets around the country. Also gives the person a chance to earn some money when they need it. I've personally never used Uber so I can't speak to how well the app works but it seems to be very popular except with the liberals.

Re: Why do all the liberals hate Uber?
I think it has to do with the drivers using thier smartphones while driving. I saw a peice on the news last night where a little girl got killed because the driver was checking his app looking for fares and ran over her and her mom.

Simple, because it defies everything that big government stands for.

Bingo on the non union answer. Liberals hate anything that does not line their pockets or stuff their ballot boxes and everyone knows the unions are professionals at that.

No Unions.....therefore, no political favors, kickbacks and payoffs.
Most liberals seem to suffer from the same mental condition....it's called stupidity!

Yep. Free market capitalism does not support their agenda. Get folks off the govt tit making money and the libs whole strategy goes down the drain.

Re: Why do all the liberals hate Uber?
Off topic, but if anyone is leery about using Uber heres an anecdote... My wife and I used Uber after a buddies wedding reception. I got on the app, the driver called me within 30 seconds of requesting a ride... Driver pulls up in a newer model four door truck that was clean as could be, and turns out he driver was a Vet... Anyways he drove us home and we had a good time... The fare that was charged was more than reasonable for the distance and would have easily been twice that for a taxi... I cant say enough good things about the experience and needless to say our driver got a nice tip...

I remember Guidry on here boasting about it. He'll change his mind after hearing this news.
