Who pays for public transportation?

This might spark some debate on just how we approach problems such as paying for public transportation.



A big problem we have around here at the moment is that transportation has created a horrible loop for the poor. They lose their homes and cars because they lose their jobs. They get on government assistance but all that does is provide them with housing and food. Then jobs become available as factories and whatnot open up but they are all 10-20 miles away from their government subsidized housing and there is no public transportation.



And so we end up with the situation where we have factories that don't have enough workers in one area, and poor people looking for jobs someplace else and no means for them to connect.



Ah, so someone proposes a bus system! That gets the people currently on government assistance to jobs that eventually should have them back on their feet. But who pays for it?



And that is where we are currently stuck. No one with money wants to pay any more taxes to help the poor who they regard as parasites. The poor, of course, have no money. The companies themselves say they won't kick in because something...job creators...something...communism...blah blah blah.



So, what do you all think? Got a solution?
