		<description><![CDATA[So we now know that the reason the Driver&#039;s Fund hasn&#039;t been implemented is the City is concerned about lawsuits. If/when implemented, it will (among other things) provide 6 Months benefits ($300-$350/mo) to drivers injured on or off the job. I&#039;d say that&#039;s pretty great for what amounts to a little over $1 a day (yes, I drive a cab in NYC, this is an accurate number). So, for all the nonsensical ramblings about Desai being a dangerous &#039;Marxist,&#039; she and the NYTWA are pretty much the only ones out there fighting for cab drivers. The Fund, and a recent long needed raise. Yep.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am a veteran  New York taxi driver. Over my lifetime (I am 68 years old next month) I have been a union activist and involved in progressive causes. Like thousands of other taxi drivers I have been subjected to the six cent a ride Bloomberg to Desai political  payoff  extortion tax since October first 2013. I can assure one and all that the ttaxi drivers have receivex zero benefit of any sort from this stillborn and non existent program. I challenge you and or Desai or de Blasio to meet me at five pm on Tuesday April  first at the flagpole in front of City Hall and show that I am a liar.

Details of the scam can be found at
