Don’t our men and women in Congress have better things to do than to intervene where the free market is completely capable of creating a “fix”?
Spirit Airlines has decided to charge passengers for carry-on bags. Why in the world would Senator Chuck Schumer find it necessary to take the time (and therefore money) to fight this?
Well, there are many things wrong with this picture – first of all there is a tax loophole that would encourage such behavior on behalf of Spirit Airlines. The problem? There are way too many taxes in the first place.
Second, if people don’t like it – they can CHOOSE NOT TO BUY IT! They can stop using Spirit Airlines, and hence, send a message to other companies that they may want to reconsider charging such a fee.
That is called a free market. And every day we get further and further away from being able to be cognizant, responsible citizens, making choices for ourselves. Instead of crying out for the government to protect us, we all need to make our choices loud and clear that we can take care of ourselves and make our own purchasing decisions.
Stand up for yourself and send these representatives packing (just make sure they don’t have a carry-on).
